ANyone heard of anyone using these or used these??

Looked at a set yesterday in Bayswater, they look like a BFG MT, but softer rubber, thicker sidewall, and wider apart lugs.

Price is same as BFG MTs could be a good option...

Im still thinkin of the Xterrains, but lateral grip worries me a little, they look like a claw, or bogger for sideways grip...

Maybe the MTR IS the way to go.. But I dont want to follow in darrens shadow like others...

Hey Bruce, stick to All Terrains,
they wear well, and make the steering easy, especially for those tight shopping centre parking turns...... ;D

Mark Rielly ran 35x12.5/15 Baja MT's in the Outback challenge a couple of years ago, and they came home like new after driving there and back, competing, [3rd I think?] and some testing beforehand.

Price wise the kevlar belted Baja MT's are near the $500 ea though.....

MTR takes some beating for an everyday road/summer tyre like mine.. 8)

From memory not all Baja MT's have the kevlar side wall.

I believe the MT is no longer available, as the offroad racing guys now use the BAJA Trail kevlar belted... up to 37"

Yes thats them.. They look better in real life. Like most photos of Xterrains look average, same as Trxus'

The tread depth of the baja BF is same as a BFMT, but the tread is more open on the baja BF.

They look good guys. I'm not in the market for rubber at the moment (just bought BFG MT), but when I am, I will keep these in mind.
