Wrangler MT/R with Kevlar

Skip,
We use them on our underground utes and have had no problems.

Although the speeds are low the tyres are subjected to constant turning and steep declines, 4wd is used all the time and they also come up top and are used on bitumin, with lots of wind up.

The rocks are shape but that does,t seem to cause problems. The only flats we get are usually from minsup clips. Have had the odd rock bolt that has been run over and come up through the floor of the Toyota's.

Get about 5000 k out of them but that is to be expected, most last between 2500 and 3000 k.

Gerday Skippy.

I've been using the older style of MT/Rs for about ten years on four different 4bys, & couldn't be happier, I usually get about 50-60k out of them on all different types of terrain.

The new MT/Rs with the different tread pattern I'm not so sure about, we had a traveller come through earlier this year with a brand new set & he wasn't happy with them at all, one had to be scrapped with a tear in the shoulder & he was taking it back for a refund.

I have had mine for 3 months only done 5000 kms. I have been away on one trip, with lots of rocks, sandy beaches, washout etc all handled with ease.

They still look like new no cuts or chips.

I thought they might be noisy on the tar but I find the noise more than an acceptable.

We've been running a test set which have covered over 10000km and they look new. We had them running in the APY lands with plenty of rocky tyre shredding stuff and not a problem

I put 850km on them over the last weekend on a tour to Beachport and back along the Coorong beaches. Plenty of steep soft dunes and long soft beaches as well as plenty of rocky stuff. Not a probem

I have a client usiing them on a mine site and they are changing over from the older version. Like chalk and cheese is the common comment with that being a very positive view of the new one. Not that the old one was a bad tyre though. We work with a tour company in central Australia and they have moved to them with posiive feedback as well

From my perspective if you spend a lot of time off-road then this is definitely a tyre to consider. but they are noticeably noisy when compared to an AT or LT such as a Bridgestone D694.

Sorry Skip , I can not help you yet, I have a new set sitting in the shed waiting to go on before our big trip next year. All I do know is it took a month or more to get hold of them as they had no stock and heaps on back order.
Will watch this thread with intrest to see what everyone else says.

Gday Skip,

I have the new ones fitted and they are much better in sand than the older style, I believe its the side pattern. Havent had any troubles with them yet, but I did get the older style replaced after 38thous K's as they started to crack on the inner walls.

I believe the same as Phil G, it was the lower pressure, corrigations and heat of the Anne Beadell that caused it, not that its a good enough excuse just stating why I believed they did need replacing. I also have the insurance bud Goodyear did it under warranty.

Cheers
