Mickey Thompson Tyres FCll Your thoughts

Used a set on the Pootrol (285/75-16) and still have them on the quad trailer. Good tyre but like most and soft wall A/T tyres they are subject to damage and bulging if overloaded and run at low pressures (like in sand work). Shoulder is not as square as the Cooper ST so they are not as susceptible to chipping and tearing at the edge (still squarer than the BFG though). Some have mentioned increased road noise in previous threads (compared to the BFG). Couldn't comment as I thought they were pretty quiet overall. Good wear pattern and slightly more aggressive tread pattern than the BFG so that and the squarer edge may explain the noise factor. As a good bitumen/part time gravel road tyre, I would rate them as a good buy.

Cheers Mick

Hi David,

These tyres were discussed in a recent thread (85483). My comments were as follows:

I have had a set of 31x10.5R15 Dick Cepek FCII's on my BT50 for several years now, they have done approx 30,000km's of a variety of tracks ranging from normal bitumen to rough rocky terrain. Areas travelled include the Canning Stock Route, Kimberley, Victorian High Country and Simpson Desert just to name a few. No puntures (touch wood!) so far - one tyre replaced under warranty when it developed some sidewall bulges.
Still plenty of tread left on them.

Cheers, Geoff

I travelled a bit with people with FC11's and without exception, they have all staked sidewalls - often the only tyre on the trip to do so.
