Off road tyres

110 thousand miles from one set of grabbers!

 

Really?

 

Yes, did it twice, once on a 200 series Disco and again on a TD5. On the 200 it was mainly A road stuff, very little towing. The TD5 was 50% plus motorway work. With the TD5 set i did loose 2 to punctures but the other 2 went the full distance. I hasten to add that I drive in the words of my daughters like an old man, (which I am).

I've had over 100k miles out of each of my last 3 sets of BFG Muds (one original pattern set, two KM2 sets) and all have had enough tread to sell 2nd hand when they've come off.

 

The KM2s seem more prone to road noise, picking up stones, and vibrating than the originals, but in my book they are still tbe best.

I have grabber at2 on my ranger and they have gone out of shape on the side walls (still usable) I am not overly impressed by their grip off road, especially when towing.

I have BFG at's on my main landy and they are excellent, BFG mud terrains on the other landy and they are ok. I will eventually run bfg at's on all the trucks.

I used to have grabber at2's on my defender. Were a good all round road tyre , well mannered in the wet, just about ok in the snow ,very long lived, dreadfull for picking up stones and flinging them into the wheel arches, but only marginally better than poor off road . Wet grass with a thin mud soup would defeat them every time often even without the trailer behind. I never trusted them afterwards and would usually chain up with snow chains to get the sawmill into fields. Never any problem then apart from being covered in mud taking chains back off at the end of the day.

Have now gone to cooper stt's and haven't chained up yet after 4 months in soggy wet irish summer.

Put these continentals on the mog about 6 months ago. Would have preferred something a little more road friendly but these came at the right money so on they went.[ATTACH]186160[/ATTACH]

 

With those tires you are entitled to say " Get off moy laand " :biggrin:
