    I have radial Baja claws and found them a little noisy on the road, i also have baja claw bias ply, a bit more noisy on the road but excellent in the bush and strong as, the next tyres I am getting is cooper STTs, good in the bush , good on the road, as an all rounder tyre I have decided on these.,

    If you're not using them on road, then you can't beat Simex Centipedes. They have a six ply sidewall, grip onto everything like poo on a blanket, and I haven't blown one yet, EVEN at 10psi. Be warned though, they are the WORST tyre on road

    I have 2 set's of tyres, STT's for off the beaten track stuff and getting muddie, and BFG AT's for every day. I have heard good things about many major brands and I would personally always use a good proven brand to ensure I'm not stuck somewhere in the bush going "If only"

    Does anyone have recommendations on tube vs. tubeless tires? I've been told that tubes are a better option for rural areas with limited repair services and high chances of puncture (ie. lots of debris/thorns).

    Thanks!

    To Quote The "Road Boss" of the Great Endeavour Rally; The right tyre is which ever you choose!

    In other words; your budget, your capabilities of handling your vehicle in all terrains, your fuel consumption, your noise level tolerance, your pressure volnurability.

    So to summarise; the correct tyre for you should be based on suggestion by other users, suppliers, your needs, and your budget.

    MTZ's are the go any sidewall is gonna be the weak point on a tyre. I run 35" MTZ on my gq and they work extremely well in most conditions. I have km2's on my GU and also rate these tryes highly they have better road manners than the mtz and also work very well in most offroad situations. Best for offroad grip i would be running sticky treps or the simex
