Great buy at the time, but now I am stuck with them, and as my job has changed and I am not driving around all day in sales anymore, I would prefer to go back to the Claws.

Is there any tread left on the MTZ's or all too far gone.

I just got a price on 285/75/16 KM2

Jax Bendigo $318

Bob Jane Bendigo $399

Get them from don Cornell's in sydney. Free shipping to wherever. Number is on the first page.

Are those prices still current ?? Maybe some one could get latest pricing

I run Mickey Thompson ATZ 4 Ribs 285X70X17, but they are noisy, much noisier than the 285X75X16 FC IIs I ran before.

The ATZs are, however, a great compromise tyre for the varied running I do, mostly gravel, some tar, desert sand and rough fire trails.

After 20,000ks of varied surfaces no chips, cuts or punctures, I'm happy.

Wow.
Best I got was $320 a corner from them about that same time.

I'm a bit keen on the Cooper ST Maxx 285/75/16 but not so keen on the $392 each here in Clare!!

When it comes to tyres I think it really comes down to personal preference. I have fitted Kumho KL78s 265/75r16 to my troll and I can not go past them for value for money. It is an all terrain tread with 10ply and a load rating of 123. At $250 a tyre fitted, and never had a puncture and have gone everywhere my traveling mates have gone with their big aggressive mud patterns, I don't think they should be underestimated.

I've got BFG's At 33/12,5/15 on my truck and I'm happy with it. Very good for sand, good for black road and not that bad for a light mud.
