Anyone have any experience with procomp xterrains tyres. They look like they would be ok on road "for a mud tyre" due to the design of the lugs, and look get for an offroad tyre.
Any advice would be helpful, looking for replacements for BFG muds and not sure if I’ll get them this time.

There are 17 competitors using the Xterrain in this years Outback Challenge.
I think that says it all...............
From what I have seen (I run the ProComp muds) is that due to the tread design there isn't much sideways grip for side slopes and especially in higher speed wet mud/dirt road cornering.
Other than that they are by all accounts a top tyre!

I am on my second set of Pro Comp muddies and couldn't be happier...... except that they are sometimes scarce up here in Qld. Last year I staked a tyre and had to order a new one from
Melbourne because no-one here in Qld had them in stock.... cost me $80 in freight..... now I'm thinking that if I was... say... up the Cape, and lost my last tyre and NEEDED a spare, I could just imagine the freight charges to
Cairns, or,worse
Weipa. BUT... I bet that BFG's are easily available in
Cairns...
Just something to think about...
Cheers
Brian
