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

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

xmt wear pretty quick apparently, looked at the kenda mt tyres? great tyre wear from what i've been hearing and great offorad.

i previously had general grabbers AT2 and loved them..

I have Federal Couragias in mud new they were a bit squishy,
Nice open tread not noisey at all , mine are 285s, Id buy them again

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...

Bugger, then I guess I'm still looking, I've seen some on gumtree called max trek mud trac, anybody have any experience with them? They're cheap.....

I have found BFG KM2 in a 305/70r16 for $300 a tyre which is CHEAP!! Don't think I can go past them

Damn that's cheap!! Jump on that definitely - Cheapest I've seen it was $315 a corner from huntsman

Details please.
That's the type of mud tyre that I'm after.

If anyone is still looking to buy a set of muddies saw huntsman were having 10% off for Father's Day sale (no affiliation or anything to them, just passing on info )
