Wagtail Tyres ? was created by Back in Black
Hi,
I'm going to the meet at Wagtails and am unsure about my tyres - I currently have General Grabber AW 225/75's fitted, they have couped with the snow and what mud I have driven in to date. But will they be upto a full on mud fest? What with the lovely weather we've been having, I can't see the ground being dry??
I was hoping to see what tyres people were using at wagtails, and then afterwards get some off roady tyres on my old wheels and swap as required.
Any guidence/information would be gratefully received.

They look like road tyres. Wagtail is basicly clay, and with those tyres you're not going to get far 
I suggest recip trials, cheap enough and they are perfect for wagtail, nice chunky tyres to dig into the clay. if you are using your jimny as a daily driver I would suggest some kumho KL71s, thats what I've got, but recip trials are the ones i'll be getting next.

Brilliant. I've started trawling the net for either for delivery asap.
Presumably they're good in snow too?

I had KL71's before and they were good off road and pretty reasonable on road (snow too). Just ordered myself some more as compared to other mud terrains they behaved better on the road!

My Insa Turbo Sahara's seem to go pretty much anywhere... not too bad a price.
