Colway AT or MT??

(1/3) > >>

Bob:
OK.  So now I've got a spare set of rims  :D  but I can't decide what to put on them  :?

The spare set will be used for laning and very occasional off-roading and I would appreciate your advice.  I'm thinking Colway MT's at the moment from Tyres Direct.

Size will be std 235/70R16 and budget is limited to as little as possible.

Thanks.

Paul:
Bob,

If it is for pay and play days go for MT's

If it's just laning and road use AT's

I currently have BFG AT's fitted and I'm realy happy
with how they are, Not to much noise on road, good
on the lanes.. :wink:

You mentioned that they will be your spare set of rims.  Assuming you have got road tyres on your normal rims then, to me, it would make sense to go for muds on your spare set.

If you are intending to use the spare rims purely for off roading then there seems little point in going for A/T's, unless you never intend on playing in the rainy season!

If your going to the expense and hassle of 2 sets, it's probably best to go for tyres that will let you down the least!

The other option if you only play in 'semi sticky stuff' is to have one (decent) set of A/T's that will be good enough for everything you intend on doing and save on changing wheels each time you go laning or to sites.

A friend had 2 sets for his Sportrak and used to changed them every other weekend when we went to fun days. It lasted for about 2 months, then he got so fed up with swoping them he left the off road set on.  And they are much lighter and easier to change than disco wheels!!!

Hope my gabble helps

(lets all pray that Easter will be warm and sunny)

Benji:
Forgot to say....don't forget to add the £40 or £50 to have the tyres fitted to the spare rims in your budget!

Andy.:
I quite fancy a set of Colway MT's. Seen them on a few Disco's now and all the owners are pleased with the results.

Or I'd much prefer a set of Goodyear MTR's but the price puts me off  :(

Where is the cheapest place to buy a set from, just tyres (Goodyears)  :?:
