Members tyre review thread

Given that we all eventually need tyres at some stage I thought it might be interesting to hear reviews from users.

Bridgestone duelers factory tyres. These are not as bad as they could be they.grip quite hard on dry surfaces both braking and cornering. They however wear quite fast and they don't age wellif you are not doing much milage then they can be a bit of a handful especially in the wet.

BF goodrich urban terrain. Factory size. Currently only on the rear bu what a thing! Dry conditions and it is making the front almost understeer there's that much on offer. Same in the wet. Off road and wet grass is no longer an issue 2wd lo no revs up a 1in3 without a hint of slip. I suspect that axle deep clay could be a problem but i don't have any to worry about.

Infinity inf200 factory size. They look great but that is all. Utterly dire in all conditions. You would not be disappointed if you used the stuff they are made from as a coating for a non stick pan. Do not waste your money unless you have absolutely no other option.

What have you got, what have you used comments below will help others make educated decision.

All the above is based on 12000 miles a year of mixed road , farm tracks and grass.

The best wet grip rated All terrain tyre I found for my jim was Nexen roadian, 6 ply, mud and snow.they were also the cheapest at £45.

yes just discovered those BF Goodrich urban terrains yesterday, they look like a brilliant alternative to standard duelers,

I've been very happy with my 205/75R15 General Grabber ATs but they are obviously less fuel efficient that road tyres, they're great in snow and will get you most places off-road and whilst OK they don't have the best wet road grip.

currently looking to get x4 215/75/15 B F Goodrich T/A KO 2 All Terrains - excellent dry and wet road grip, and legendary off-road ability, however they are pricey

Wear rate is good
Traction
Mud good
Snow good
Sand/Gravel ok
Dry road good but the noise level sounds like swarming bee's
Wet road use caution till you know the limits (good for drifting)
psi 15 off-road works fine,20-25 on road.I run 20psi in all four
would i buy again yes if was on a tight budget

BFG A/T are probably the best all rounders you can get. I would have them if available in the size I use.
Yokoharmer geolander a close second. faster wearing but cheaper so not a lot in it.
For offroad, I am I big fan of Malatesta Kiemans. have used them on LR, Shogun, Lada Niva and 2 Suzuki,s
have not found anything better yet.

I have the BFG's halford mentioned and cant fault them.

Excellent grip in all conditions i've tried so far, no spinning or messing about, they just get the job done.

tarmac wet and dry - brilliant
rocky tracks - brilliant
boggy fell & mud - ok at low pressures, mud terrains better
snow - brilliant

Best of all they have covered over 25,000 miles and still have half the tread left, making them cheaper in the long run than almost anything else.
