Yep great tyres. Love them. Excellent in the mud and rocky terrain. I don't think they are marketed as 50/50 without checking out the brochure. Tough side walls , didn't seem to bag out as much as MT/s at same pressure on last trip but mine were newer. As for wear mine have only done 5000km but JKspinner has had his on a while longer than me

Ok cheers matt just thinking of getting a set, have you had them in the sand at all if so were they ok or are they more of a mud tyre?

[Mattfunk 120 Advanced Member Find all posts View Profile Close Mattfunk 120]

Yeah they are ok in the sand even though they are a fairly aggressive AT. Not as good as my old gran treks in the sand though.
Cheers Matt

I ended up getting a set so hope they are ok on the road and in sand as that'll be first on the list if not someone will be getting a cheap set of tyres. Cheers Joel

They are fine on the road & also in the wet as long as you drive to conditions . Let them down nice & low in the sand & they'll be fine . Be interested to hear how much you paid.
Cheers Matt

Hi Altitude, I have had them for somewhere between 5000 to 10000kms and cannot fault them. Have mainly used for on road and lots of towing. Have used for OFFROAD for one week and they were brilliant, nothing serious, but lots of slippery grass, sloshy tracks, rocky tracks and creek crossings. They look cool to. I rate them

They have been great so far matt can't fault them atm, paid $380 each fitted in cairns, was a bit steep but worth it.

Hi jkspinner had them for 5000k so far so good to and agree they do look cool they sorta look like a m/t but aren't as they are 70% on road and 30% off road but you wouldn't think so when you look at them hey

Hi Joel , 5000km already , that was quick. I'm glad you like them. I guess that means I'm not getting a set of cheap tyres though .
Cheers Matt

Actually there is 6k on them clicking up the k's to fast. No you definitely won't be getting them any cheaper as I got 5 and I got a big $5 discount of each tyre! Didn't make much different but was better then nothing I guess.

I hope they treat you well.
I had a set on my old triton took me Birdsville and to Cape York and back
I found them to be a great set of tyres off road there was little difference between mine and a mate with Baja Claws in the mud, good on other surfaces and found in sand I would drop a few extra psi out when airing down,
On road found them be great in both and dry and wet conditions, unfortunately I found from about 35 000klms the wet weather performance begun to fade with a bit over 40k on them they were like a set off muddies in the wet! keep in mind this was bout 7 year ago when they first came to the aussie market and I would like to know if that has changed because until the high kilometres they were a fantastic tyre.

Good to no pete, I'm a bit iffy with them in the wet as its slides a little bit sometimes but not all the time that's my only fault in them atm. Hope they last till at least 40k I'll be pleased as not a cheap tyre

[pete8205 Member Find all posts View Profile Close pete8205]

At 40k there was still plenty off tread left on them I upgraded the car you should get at least 60k from them.
I think from memory I ran about 32psi on road unloaded ( dual cab) loaded 38psi in rear 36 front, If your slipping in the wet try knocking a couple of psi out off them I had mine down to 12psi on sand one time I didn't relise until airing up!
