What tires should I get? - Page 2 - Land Rovers Only

How do those Revo's handle in mud? They look like they would clog easily. I'm not a huge mud fan but here in TN thats what we face a lot. Have any of you looked at the General Grabber AT 2. It looks like a very promising tire also. And the price is right too!

pretty hard to judge ATs in mud...they're not for digging purpose.

My dad got 100k out of his Toyo Open Country AT's.

I'll actually most likely be getting those in the next few weeks. My Interco trXus only lasted about 15-20k. I can get (4) 275 grabber A/T 2's installed and everything for 340ish.

I'm running the BFG AT's. They work well on everything but mud, they cake up real quick. I haven't had them long but there really appears to be no signs of where.

I LOVE MY BFG AT'S............. I have a lot of friends that don't wheel at all and still get those tires..They last a long time and do great....

Prices weren't that bad. I think I paid 753$(US) for 4 of them and I know the price has come down.
I don't think 150$ for a tire is all that bad nowadays.

Well, as I said before, the Firestone Destination AT is a good tire. I'm glad to see that someone (Tirerack reviews) agrees with me. They are round (unlike Goodyears), quiet, have good treadwear, come in a million sizes and configurations, and provide good performance on road and light off road. They don't dig in mud, but then again, neither do many AT tires. Oh, depending on where you get them, they run $50 each cheaper than Revos. I'm not knocking Revos, as they are unquestionably an excellent tire, but I have never thought as much of them as the price the local tire shops ask.

WOW! Thanks for your opinions everyone... this is awesome!

Dang, my Pathfinder's are not on that list.

Oh well, but my Pathfinder AT's handle very well in the mud, and sand as I discovered last night, where I also picked up my first trail body damage....another story. And I wasn't drunk.
