    General mt or Achilles xmt

    Hey guys I know this has been posted before and I have found some small reviews on each tyre. I currently have stuffed pro comp all terrains on that came with the car they are stuffed but I don't have a deep pocket at the moment. I want a aggressive all terrain or muddy mainly at as I do both sand and rock clay mud etc. I have been quoted 250 bucks fitted and balanced for either a general mt or Achilles xmt. I'm not sure what tyre to go with. What would you guys choose? Happy for any other tyre suggestions that the price isn't through the roof. I'm located in Perth
    GU DX Cab Chassis TD42t non intercooled, 3 inch lift, genuine steel winch bar, 33" Pro Comp All Terrains , 3"turbo back exhaust, Icom IC 400pro UHF, 12inch LED light bar, 42" light bar
    Future mods: Intercooler, more boost, dual batteries, drop links for sway bar

    I would go the xmt. Much more aggressive and has stronger sidewalls than the all terrains

    Hi threedogs,

    How are the federals wearing mate? I'm going to be in the market in the next 6 months by the look of my tyres and my budget is slim-ish right now too. I'd love an M/T tyre, but I need them to last a while too...
    93 GQ wagon, RB30, extractors, 2 inch tough dog lift, 5 spd, A/T KO2 32's, steel winch bar, rated recovery points, red arc dual battery set up, rhino roof racks, UHF etc etc. Slow and steady might not win the race but it gets me there eventually...

    The only good thing about an 80 series is..... the front end?? Wrong!!, the Engine?? Wrong!! the Full Time 4WD system?? Wrong!! Its the NissanPatrol.com.au stubby holder fitted over the transfer lever.
