Title: Mud tyres
Post by: corrosiverob on March 26, 2008, 19:25:50

Hi all,

Just to abuse the forum has anyone got these tyres or have used them in the past, they look quite meaty but have not seen them in the flesh.

A good mate of mine has just put these on his RRC, and they are excellent, awesome grip & reasonably quiet,  I shall be ordering myself a set come the summer.

 My mate had them on his TD5 and after a few thousands miles the side wall started to crack.

While casting no aspersions, in my experience that looks very much like damage you get from under-inflation.

I wonder how long my half shafts would last :-k, but then agian they are not realy appropriate for green laning are they?

Knowing how much of a mess one pair of tractor tyres can make in damp/wet conditions, I would definitely agree in that they're not ideal for keeping any greenlanes in decent states.  :shocked:
