I drive a Ford Courier ute with a canopy and all the bits which weighs in it at 2800kg.
Im leaving for 10 weeks of travelling with 20% bitumen the rest sand,gravel, gibber.
I currently run BFG KM2 for the farm and all other driving. They are great.
I am deciding on what tyre for the trip and have considered these.
BFG KM2 muddies -
PROS - have them now. great on and off road.
CONS - My main concern is their 110 (D) load rating and poss wear rate
$230
Maxxis Buckshot -
PROS - my last set. They were great, did everything I wanted. Have a 115 (E) rating
CONS - wonder if they are as good a tyre as BFG technically
$215
Cooper AT3 - no experience with these. Have used ST and ST Maxx
PROS - 115 load rating, harder sidewalls
CONS - not used to going back to ATs after living in muddies now.
$240
Prices are too close to consider a factor.
Any feedback?
