Have them on my Jeep, they're pretty damn good....  Even in the wet with a 4l lump and rear wheel drive they give me good grip (Not spun her yet in over 2 years) Wearing well although there are a lot of nicks in the sidewalls and tread (local site has a lot of flint in the mud) On the Paj we put a set of BFG ATs on there late last year as that stays mainly on road now with only minor green laning.

I'll probably replace the MTRs on the Jeep with BFG M/Ts when they wear out as they are a little more aggressive and the Jeep is used for playing. I will loose some of the road holding though :(

Saying that, am just off to look at the for sale section :) [edit] no good, 16" :( [/edit]

had a set of these and found them to be very good

quieter on the road than than the BFG MTs and seemed just as grippy on the mud.

they are expensive but well recommended.

thanks for the info, looks like they seem a decent tyre then :)

The ones for sale on here are too expensive, I have been offered (not a dodgy offering either!!!) a set of 4 for £40 each :D

Looks like thats a great bargain

There is a Tyre shop near me called Charlie Browns in Iver, Bucks that sold 4 to me for £400 fitted and balanced.
