--- Quote from: "gaelbhan" ---went to Kwik Fit to check price on the BFG MT's 265x75xR16 and they want £104 each... I can do much better than this on the net, (maybe I ought to tell them and I might get a deal or price match?) They also inform me they will fit my alloy wheels at size 7Jx16x35.

Thanks everyone for all your help and expertise. Shall post a pic when I get them on!

But 30% off makes it much better than anywhere else ;)

gaelbhan:
asked about that.. that's why I went... apparently no 30% off for these! :(

Hi there, i am in the wrong forum as i run a discovery however i am really interested in hearing from people with experience from running BF Goodrich Mud terrains.

I have used General Grabber AT2 on my suzuki and they seem supurb off road, a total transformation from the more road biased tyres it came with.

I have now purchased a discovery for on and off road use and am unsure what to fit as a great deal of MT's are unsuitable for road use however people and reviews i have read seem to suggest the BF goodrich tyres are reasonable on road.

Is this true, what about in the wet and what sort of road noise do you hear, i suppose it is less of an issue in a defender as opposed to a disco!

Thanks

Chris

As I said earlier, I run General Grabber MT's on my Disco and don't have any problems on the road in the wet or dry. They act like normal road tyres and I don't notice any noise from them either.

The same can be said for the BFG MTs I had on my 90. Good road holding in the wet & dry with low noise levels.
The BFG seems a harder waring tyre than the Grabber MT but having used both, their performance seems very similar. Although the Grabber MT is a little cheaper.  :wink:

My BFG MT's handle excellently in all weather with little or no noticable road noise. They also wear very well with plenty of tread even after 18K mostly on road with weekend muddy/rocky outings.
