needing new tyres, looking at the BF goodrich ATR's, seem pretty good,
just been told about the new Mickey thompsons ATR 5 rib, they look alright?
anyone tried these yet?
hope to be rolling in them in the next couple of weeks.
just gotta buy the car fridge and battery first....soo many expenses...hehe

dont bother with the ATR's mate.. they chip and loose lugs,,, the atr, atz and mtz all do the same thing...

Hey Longy,
You might also be interested in the Yokohama Geolandar A/T-S tyres, I have some on my liberty at present. 215/60 R16.
I haven't done enough travel to give a report on their wear yet, But are nice to drive on the highway.
I have the MT Baja's on the work ute and they pick up a lot of small stones at low speed, and then spray them out at 90-100k's. They are the worst AT tyre for this that I have had.
Cheers Brad.
