Any ideas...
Which is the better deal
Machos at £52 or Recip trials at £60
Anybody got any views/ advice?
Thought about Broncos but at £70 a pop too much-I'm getting 5 of..

Actually the only thing I see with directionals that might be a problem is what happens if you need the grip in reverse - I've had to reverse twice recently on green lanes both a fair distance and one of those times mud biting traction was needed


Just a thought

I've seen people running macho's the wrong way round and have no issues with traction, so I guess they only need the directional bit on the road maybe.
Never been let down by mine in either direction

Machos are directional, but it just means they are even better when going the right way round :D

It's so that they are self-cleaning that's all, so they point forewards at the top.

Also Recips are available- but there is a wait for machos
Decisions ,decisions

what about colway m/t's, i have them and "for the price" (i paid 25 quid a corner a year or so ago  :D ) i think there a very good tyre on and off road, and after a year of driving on them they still have a good amount of tread on them......just my opinion though :wink:

I have some Colway muds on my Paj and they are very good -but I've told Machos are much better-hard to believe as Colways are good anyway-but that seems to be the general opinion -and Bronco diamondbacks are the mutts nuts -alledgedly :)

IMO a macho is quite a closed pattern compared to an insa turbo
