Hi all,
Am in the market for a set of new tyres (size 285/75R16) and have decided on either the Goodyear Wrangler MTR or the GFBoodridge MTR. Given that I can get them for the same price, what would be the better choice, or are they much of a muchness?
PS Their main function would be that of an all purpose tyre (having said that I have decided on the MTR over the AT).
Cheers
Grazza

Gazza, have you had a look at the Bridgestone Muddies, not nearly as fashionable as others seem to be, but I have gotten fantastic performance out of
mine, (I have no idea if they are available in your size, guess that they would be.)
Don't discount them just because they don't get talked about much.

Good to hear others are thinking about the 'big trip'; my wife and I are planning a 2 year event from 2004. See you on the road grazza !
On the subject of tyres, there's another thread in the
forum here about Prado rims on Cruisers which demonstrates my confusion about what I can do.
I've just come back from Bob Jane who advised me that the Prado's I have on might not be legal on a Series 80, and that I could have gone 275/70 R16 with standard Cruiser rims (damn GoodYear who sold me the Prado rims.
He also went on to say that I coudn't go to 285/75 without using a 15" rim.
is that right?!
Thanks for tips about the best tyres (if I can get them on); I still hear Coopers are the best though (just hearsay)
