  • Tyres And Wheels My Brain Hurts

    I have been searching the web for days trying to locate a good deal on a set of 33" tyres and rims. My brain is now fried and my eyes are bleeding.

    Muds, AT's, 80% off road - 20% on, Creepers, Bearclaws, Venturers, Mickey Thompsons, Maxxis........................ .....the list is never ending.

    I do about 90% on road 10% off, I think I really need AT's but naturally MT's look much more aggressive.

    I'm leaning towards Maxxis as they might fit the bill. Still trying to find someone who is selling second hand but it's like trying to find rocking horse poo!

    No doubt when I finally bite the bullet and buy new I'll get an email the next day asking if I'm still after 33" tyres and rims!

      How much were they mate? I can collect them as they are only down the road for me - and I'm thinking of getting some 33" muds.....

        General Grabber AT2. The only tyre you'll need. Good price, great off-road, quite on-road, lasts ages.

        Order from Roughtrax.

            as vince said the AT2's are very very good, I had them before I went for MT's.

              Yep, read your review Alan. Like I said, I've done a LOT of searching. I saw that you paid £580 for them if I remember correctly, that seems a good price I must agree.

              I'm having the 2" body lift done this month sometime, that's on top of the 2" suspension lift I already have, hence the need for 33's a.s.a.p.

              EDIT: Just read your other post Alan £480 sounds even better!!!!

                            Surely if it's for 90% tarmac then MT's are hardly appropriate ?

                            If you're doing any sort of mileage they'll be destroyed pretty quickly and the braking performance on tarmac is significantly worse

                            I'm looking at new rubber myself and I've come down in favour of GG AT2's - just vascillating over whether to go for 265/70/16 or 265/75/16

                            PS
                            It's only taken me 4 years and 5 months to hit one thousand posts !
