    I want to not the good the bad and the ugly about them.
    And any comparonsons you can give me.
    And I want to see what everyone thinks is the best off road tyre and why

    I run 2 sets Cooper ATRs for HWY and around town 35psi around town and 40 psi on the hwy,
    Off road I run Mickey Thomspons MTZs 305s x 16s PSI anything down to 16 psi
    Coopers nice and quiet returning great wear and fuel
    MTZs just starting to get noisy not worried about fuel etc as long as they hang on.
    Next time I'm trying Cooper 4 rib A/Ts on OE mags in 305 size

    At the moment I'm just running the tyres the car came on and I run them at 36psi on the road.
    I'm hoping to get a set of swamper Q78-16 for my off road tyre and a set of 33 Thompson atz for on road

    This could be like how long is a piece of string, tyres that are great in say Tassie
    may not be any good in the Black soil area in Qld. As I buy my tyres to suit where I would be driving
    If I was doing more High country stuff my choice would be different to say picking tyres to do Cape York.
    Just A thought

    what about other brands?

    I am currently running Buckshots XMT mudders in my D22
    bang for the $$$ however it is soft compound and when I
    say soft they are soft - I reckon in this rate I will only get
    roughly 20,000kms out of them or if lucky 30,000kms

    I have some Yokohama Geolanders on the road (31's) the ute looks stupid but besides that, they grip very well in wet and dry as they are a soft compound. For a set of all terrains they hold their own on the rocks. Mine have some serious slices in the side wall from jagged rocks and one can't hold air. They have been abused and I will buy them again.

    The off road tyres are Maxxis Trepadores.
    I have to be pretty damn impressed by another tyre to change. The bead is good for 12 psi with out locks, unbeatable (IMO) on the rocks and hard surfaces, outdone by the centipedes in the mud. But I hate mud so it doesn't matter.
    My only dislike is that when you are on an off camber track and you loose traction they tyres will follow the camber and can put into a bit of trouble, especially if I am complacent.
