There are a a few members on this site with them.
They are still a reasonably new tyre to hit Aus in that size, so not too many people have them.
They are probably the most aggressive tyre in a 27R14.
Looks the good, and preform quite well offroad.

i have them on the brumby
proformance is great off road and pretty good on road (for a muddy)
tyre noise was good at first

You mean the wheels or the tyres?
I think your asking if the wheels are any good right?
I would just get a set of desert rats from Speedy.
Or Outback Bloke might still have a set of those 14" Coyote's which have a more legal offset.

Scorpion rims are the same offset as standard I think.
And the way I see it is if your lifting either with tyres, kit or suspension you need to go wider to keep the same stability. I like the Desert Rats as they look good with the wide offset and you can pick them up for $75 bucks new with tyre fitting from your local tyre shop.

ok the desert rats are a better option but in queensland im pritty sure we cant widen our wheel track by any more than 1in

I have been thinking of getting the bf goodrich t/ako flotation 27x8.5r14lt's for my brumby. Would the Kumho's be better?

Cheers,

BFG's are a 6ply tread 3 ply sidewall. id be interested to know what the Khumos are.

BFG's are seriously tough to puncture and seriously good offroad and onroad.
