BF Goodrich Mud Terrain was created by Dyl
I am wanting new tyres for my Jimny. I was looking at General Grabber AT2's but I have just seen these BF Goodrich Mud Terrain T/A KM2 215/75 R15 100Q

What do people think about the Goodrich tyres?

Having a standard Jimny and tyres, I expect this will be a big improvement.

I just got a set of KM2's in the size you are interested in. They look awesome and I'm really surprised how quiet they are on the road. I've only had them a week, and haven't done anything other than tarmac driving, but I hope to get them mucky soon.

I had some Tracker remoulds and they were poop. My Jimny has been transformed, and I've definitely made the choice to keep him having seen how he should drive.

I got mine from Tyreleader for £88 each delivered. I then got my local fitter to pop them on with my wheels spacers at the same time. I can't rate them highly enough at the moment, but you may need someone to tell you if they're any good off road.

I plan to do exactly the same, order from Tyreleader and take to local tyre fitters. They are a good price at the moment as everywhere else they are £100+

I'm also wanting the wheel spacers but not sure if they will cause issues with the tyres catching on my standard Jimny with this size tyres.

They have got to be decent off road, maybe not amazing but certainly a big improvement on the standard tyres I have fitted now. And they look good :)

I've got BF Goodrich muds in this size and 32mm spacers. They don't rub at all. They are good off road, but a bit noisy on tarmac, but not a massive issue!

can't compare ATs with Muds

if mainly for road use with occasional off-road all year round then you'd be better with ATs,
else if mainly offroad, then Muds are the way to go.

but Muds are inferior on tarmac in the wet, snow and ice.

now if you wanted to compare the BF Goodrich All Terrain with the Grabbers, the BF's are the original bad boys and look great, but will be noisier than the Grabbers which are the new kids on the block and certainly up to the job

Ordered the General Grabber AT2 215/75/15

Thought about it and as my Jimny has no lift, no armour, no winch, no snorkel, then I'm not really going to be off roading properly anytime soon.

I thought I'm better off spending some money on good quality tyres which will do all things well rather than one very well.

Should be ok for some mild green laning and will be perfect for everything else and I think they should look good! :)
