    @Cuppa what youre after is a very good mud pattern in a Light truck construction
    Next time you buy tyres grab one from the rack and press down on it . that will
    give you an idea what you should be putting on your ute if you cant press it down
    the tougher the construction of the tyre, BFG have tri guard I think, any mud tyre
    would suit your needs better

    I think most Kimberley offroaders would disagree with you on that TD. Mud patterns are good for wet muddy slippery conditions, but even then using them on outback dirt roads during the Wet season would be highly frowned upon & could well attract big fines! I'd guess that on all the local 4wd's I've seen up here the number fitted with MT's would probably number less than 2%, & those ones would predominantly be for use just in a specific area (eg around a specific mine site perhaps, or on some of the 'community bombs' used only to access local fishing spots), certainly not for general touring/camping etc.

    Up here in the harsh dry rocky country the larger gaps between tread blocks on mud tyres increase vulnerability to 'through tread' punctures from sharp rocks & those gaps between are likely to increase in size with use as tread blocks are torn out. Even my new AT's have had a tread block torn out here & there on the Munja Track. I could easily envisage a set of new MT's being destroyed just in the 500km return drive to Walcott inlet & doubt that their pattern would offer any advantage in the process.

    LT construction without doubt, but AT's ...... with strong & well protected sidewalls!

    I’m assuming these new purpose needed Silverstone’s we scored for cost price wouldn’t last too long in the Kimberly :-)

    Haha that is grouse MB! I used to run a set of those tyres. Absolutely crazy traction offroad but truly terrifying on the road.

    I like to start most trips with new tyres.
    most times with BFG a/ts, the Birdsville trip
    was going great till we hit the Dig Tree Rd just after the grader.
    Once back on the black top couldnt figure out wtfwas wrong,
    same old same old chipped lugs. GRRRRRRRrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr
