Any opinions on which of these tyres are best for my CJ, Kumho 31" 10.50,s Muds or General Grabber same size Muds. I know there are better tyres out there but these are basicaly free

so I only have the choice of these two makes(or remoulds ugh). Tia Rick.

FWIW ran General AT's on my Cherry for a while and was most impressed

Think Greggmo has General MT's?

Generals. :lol:

I'd give the khumo's a go, generals are shit imo

Bubba · « **Reply #4 on:** July 08, 2005, 04:48:44 PM »

i have run em both khumos are very good and have a slight edge on the grabers methinks

chrisjones · « **Reply #5 on:** July 08, 2005, 05:20:17 PM »

In that case, the KL 71's look good!

Duno how much they are though! #-o

Successful trip Bubba?

i run grabbers no probs very happy with em, have also had kumo at,s and they where a good tyre too. i think the tyres now are all prety good to be honest, it just depends how agressive you want to go.

I have grabbers on my cj, and they have run great.Very pleased with them

Dingo · « **Reply #8 on:** July 08, 2005, 11:30:14 PM »

Still undecided at the moment. I too run general AT's on the cherry, not bad off road, great on it. My only experience of khumo's are on the HGV and they lasted pretty well. I've never had mud's before so it could be interesting. Khumo's slightly ahead in my mind, dammit I might flip a coin.

Why not get both sets if they`re practically free,and try out for yourself?

?Both tyres are quite good,but its all down to personal driving styles and terrains as in my opinion certain tyres suit one terrain where another favours a slightly different terrain,evcen though they may be labelled as being the same.Sorry i guess im not helping much but its just my opinions and not necesserily those of the management :lol: :lol:

I run Grabber MT's on my TJ and they are just as good as the Grizzlies I replaced them with, great road holding and quiet and smooth to. Also plenty grip in the Scottish mud.

Avatar stumped me reading the post...... Kept trying to ignore it... but just kept catching my eye.....

Oh yeah, tyres.... Dunno....

like richard said, the grabbers. i ran khumo MT's but found the rubber to hard and skitterish on damp roads although it looked cool going broadside round roundabouts in the XJ at 20mph it did nothing for the underwear as they were unpredictable.

Dingo · « **Reply #16 on:** July 14, 2005, 01:30:47 AM »

I'm edging towards grabbers, as with all them beans in the CJ she looses the arse end real easy. Thanks guys.

chrisjones · « **Reply #17 on:** July 26, 2005, 04:03:13 PM »

I'll be lookin' to get some muds meself when I get back from me hols.

They're going on a second set of wheels, so I don't have to do too much road work on 'um.

Anyone know anything about the Bronco Grizzly Claws??

They look like a fairly agressive pattern, and a reasonable price too.

Anonymous · « **Reply #18 on:** July 26, 2005, 04:14:05 PM »

Know of a few people who've run them and rate them

Manda · « **Reply #19 on:** July 26, 2005, 08:04:18 PM »

Funnily enough I've been investigating muds. I quite liked the look of Mickey Thompson Baja Claws, Silverstone Extremes, Silverstone MT117 and Grizzly Claws.

Broncho said:

For 31x10.5R15

Mickey Thompson Baja Claws - £118 inc VAT Mmmm
Silverstone Extremes - only do them in 35x10.5R16 - £130 (Hmmm too big)
Silverstone MT117 - not out yet, poss priced like Baja's
Grizzly Claws - £83.21 :cry:

Does anyone know owt about Simex mt's??

chrisjones · « **Reply #20 on:** July 26, 2005, 08:15:57 PM »

Yeah, been lookin' at the grizzly claws and the baja claws.

Both look like good tyres, grizzly's are remoulds, bajas are new!
