    Which Tyre's

    Trying to decide which tyre to go with what do you guys think
    Federal Couragia M/T
    Hercules Trail Diggers
    Maxxis Bighorns
    Looking at a 33 12.5/r15
    Thinking Federals will be quieter on the road but like the look of the Trail diggers and I have the bighorns on my work ute

    Whoever appeals to the law against his fellow man is either a fool or a coward.
    Whoever cannot take care of themselves without that law is both.
    For a wounded man shall say to his assailant,
    'If I live, I will kill you. If I die, You are forgiven.'
    Such is the rule of honour.

    Hey mate, depends what kind of driving you are going to do with the tyres but from that list I would go the Maxxis myself.
    Figure out what your needs are and post them up here and we might be able to help

    Mate - if you are in Melbourne, try Canterbury Tyre and Mag Supermarket, as they have some great prices on KM2's and they are great.

    One of our group bought the Couragia's recently and seems to be happy enough, but did mention last time I asked, that he was going to sell them off soon whilst the tread was still good.

    You see quite a few people are running the Big Horns on the road, so they must either be cheap or good .....

    Im lucky that I don't have to drive it Mon-fri very often usually only on the weekends and 4wding usually in places like the wombat state forest etc its currently got buckshots on and they are becoming very loud under 50% tread so want something that will be quieter on the road planning on playing around the Flinders next year for about 8 weeks including a run up to Birdsville etc as for size I want 33 x 12.5 /R15s

    I'm not sure about the others, but I've had 2 sets of Bighorns which I found to be great in the mud, just a bit loud on the tarmac. They are good performers for the money.
