Wrangler MTR advice
Bit of advice really

Have a nearly new 110 that came shod with MTR's - Goodyear Wrangler 285/75/16 typo 235 !

My dilemma is as apart from towing the caravan most use is on road & very unlikely to do any serious muddy stuff.

So do I get a set of BFG AT's and sell the MTR's or stick with the MTR's & accept poorer on road manners & a bit of noise Question

I would get BFG ATs, Grabber ATs or Continental ATs. I have used all 3 and my 'new' truck has Continentals and I am very surprised just how good they are - quiet, grippy and wear well.

If I changed now I would be very tempted by the Conti ATs. I always found that the BFGs were less than grippy in the wet and gave a firmer ride than the Grabber AT's, also noisier. That was on an insulated 90XS 2.4.

You should be able to sell the MTRs for a good price.

Are they not 235's on yours?

Would be interested in buying them if you sell. 130 needs some new boots! First dibs Thumbs Up 1951 80" S1 2.0
