| Post subject: | Mud tyres? |
G'day guys, I am trying to find some good mud tyres but for a BFG KM2 in the 235/75/R15 is $315 from bobjane! Was thinking somthing with a more aggressive offroad tread than a Maxxis Bighorn as I have a set of road tyres and rims 
What would you get? I know it all depends on what you drive.. but just wondering what you would buy/ have got? How much did you get your muddies for? |

mud = simex jungle trekkers or boggers any tyre better than a bighorn is going to be a serious compramise on the road. |

Yeah... But the 30 inch is one inch bigger so may rub?? don't really want to destroy the rubber that quick! 
But do simex come in a 29? what price did you pay MrRocky? |

The BFG's are US$154 each from tirerack.com in a 235. You'd need to factor in about $300 shipping, but that'd still land you a set of 4 for less than $250 a corner. My 215's came from there while the exchange rate was slightly better - $1025 for 5. |

Yeah.. but how are they better than the Bighorn's
The reason why I ask is because I had Sliverstone Sport 117's on my old 4runner and loved them!

big horns and baja claws are both for tours and beach cars and thats about all in my opinion they arnt good 4wd tyres at all they are too hard and dont grip real well compared to what else is on the market i had bighorns on the cruiser and i folgged them off within 3 weeks after getting the shits with them and got a set of federals and they were about 10 times better but still not a good 4wd tyre |

having them on a 3 ton cruiser is hardly akin to an 870kg sierra |
