Well my rear tires are spent so need new ones. But i cant decide between keeping my mickey t mtz's or going to bfg km2. Am i better off getting two new mtz? Or going to bfg km2 and trying to sell my old rubber? Been quoted $50 a tire more for the bfg's. Has anyone here tried both. If so what are your thoughts.
mtz or km2

BFG appear to wear longer, MTZ seem to grip a bit better. Both are awesome tyres, flip a coin.

Can you even get the BFGs at the moment? I couldn't when getting a quote this week.
Yeah my local tire shop can get them in still but only in limited sizes or somthing like that. Mine are 285/75/16. What size were you looking for? i could ask my local shop im in bairnsdale if u wanted? pm me if interested.

hope u dont by from ozzie tyres Mike just checked there BFG a/t in 265/75/r16
they are priced at $702 a tyre but half price till midnight tonight LOL
I did ask what price the 285 75r16 would be, from jaxx it was $350 a corner.
And when I quoted ozzy on BFG MT it was 330 delivered from sydney to canberra, and BFG AT we're 310 I believe. Maybe it was Tempe now that I think about it

i've got the wrangler dura tracs in 265/75/16. and love them there real quit on the road and they clean out really quick in the clay and dirt. i've only had them now for 10 thousand km so i don't know how well they wear on road yet but what i have read they do quiet well... but in saying that the dura tracks are my first set of 4x4 tyres and i have nothing to compare with...
are you in a d22 or a d40?
Becasue i have the same size tyres ( and 2" lift) and have really bad scrubbing long before full lock right hand down driver side only, Even after i altered the guard.

Longy509,
Takeoff power - well I have a chip fitted along with a Taipan 3inch exhaust & there water to air intercooler, go's hard,
there was a small difference in the take-off but what you loss you gain on the hwy doing 100km sitting on 2100rpm - 2200rmp
this hurts $410 a corner + spare

i'm in a d22 single cab and the dura tracs did scrub abit in full lock about 5mm so i just took off the mud flaps in the front guards which gives about 30mm clearance. but i just put in a body lift so i have no issues now with tyre scrubbing...
the tyres cost me i think $350 a corner
