Currently i run the federal couriga mud terrain in a 33" tyre and tbh i hate them, keep going out of balance and wearing extreamly quick. Very slippery on the road when wet as well.
Have been looking at the new Dick Cepek Fun Country, a pretty aggressive all terrain.
I know the old FC-II was a great tyre and was wondering of anyone was running these new fun country, interested too hear some feedback on them.
Fletch, you are me 6 months ago mate.
My federals got an honest 20k Max although they were great offroad, longevity was a disaster.
I know everyone brags about km2 and I have gone that way myself now and will not look back mate.
I mean i got my federals for free so that was good, came on the troll brand new when i bought it. I have run bighorns and km2's before and i would never recommend the federals again unless u wanted a tyre that was for a weekend play toy. They are useless on the road.Quote:

I won't hijack your thread anymore as I hope others can comment on your thread but even on road usage where mark hardly went offroad got 90k and to me personally they are great on road for a mud terrain.Quote:

I havehte km2's and they are great. But i run the bfg AT's on the road and yeah i reckon these would do pretty much anything the km2's would. Except for say like a big slippery hill where you need the extra grip.

Yer thats where my logic is going at the moment, i use my patrol as a tourer not really as a weekend play toy. A nice agressive A/T should do everything that im going too want too do, winch is backup if required and planning on putting a front locker in shortly so should have all my bases coveredQuote:

I ended up looking at ATZ P3, ST Maxx, General grabber SRL, BFG KO2 and Toyo open country AT II
The Toyo AT II won in the end as it best suited my needs I wanted a wider tyre but around the 32" size (so I didnt loose power) with a decent tread pattern, price also helped ended up getting them for $240 on a price match fitted compared to $440 for the ATZ P3 which was my other choice
Yes but having said that, Mat has said he's had great mileage on Km2's. I think he said 80thou or something. I would expect that from the AT'S aswell. So maybe this would be the better option. Then you have the grip when you need it. The km2's are noisy like other mud tyres are like.Quote:

Ive had my federal mud [285s] on for 6 month they are wearing even and not noisey.
When I first put them on they were a bit squishy, but fine now.
never had a problem on wet roads either, will I get them again,,,,,,,no
it was a budget decision
How many km have you done on them now john? Doesn't seem like there any many repeat customers for the federals...Quote:

They're just a relatively aggressive all terrain trye, so whether they will suit your terrain, I really can't answer.
thanks clunk think I will give them ago from what i have read about them they are worth ago even tho they a bit pricey.
Tyres, tyres, tyres..................the biggest issue we 4WDers go though, as most people have different choices and experiences with every breed and type out there.
I would not recommend any to anyone as I have found that it is just a case of suck it and see
All you can do is tell of your experience with what ever the make is, which I have done and let the peron asking the question decide [emoji6]Quote:
