I think I've looked into it too much now there are too many options. But going from the web site these tyres are called swampers but are radials and designed to have better road handling than the real swampers. Check out the web page and see what you think!

Two sets would be the go but even then I would have to drive 2 hours each way from Lilydale up the bush on wet roads eg through the spur or over the slide.

Maybe the tyres I want don’t exist, just wanted to step up from BFG mud for off-road and not sacrifice too much road handling. I think the BFG’s are fine for the road so thought there would be a tyre out there that could be used on the Ute all winter and another set used for summer.

I drive from Langwarrin on Simex's to Mansfield, or Warby as did on weekend etc..

Driving form Lilydale is nothing to Warby, etc... It takes me close to an hour to get to Lilydale from home then thru there to the bush. 100's of others do it further than you do.. Its not an issue. My JT's handled very well on the road, just remember your not driving a Ferrari. Talkin to a mate, he borrowed some Q78 Swampers off a mate and drove in the wet as hard on them as he did his own BFG MT's to Toolangi.. didnt have an issue, he was shocked how well they handled, but they wear like crap on the tar.

The tires you want DONT exist. You go MT, then Extreme.

Have you looked at the Cooper STT? Could be worth considering..........Keith
