    I can get a set of these at €450 fitted to my jeep. What are these like in terms of wear and grip versus the better brands such as BF Goodrich or General Grabbers? I always heard toyos were a good tyre for a car but I don't know for a 4x4. Any opinions or experience out there. Thanks.

    They're relatively new on the market so may be hard to get any reviews on them but at that money and after reading what's available online about them I'd have them. I have bfg ats myself but would consider the toyos. They do a good looking mud terrain if your doing much off road work.

    Never used them myself but for other users review after using them they don't compare to grabbers BF or coopers AT

    I know BFG are a lot more to buy but their wear rate is fantastic compared to any other tyre I ever used.
    Probably twice that of any other.

    The answer is a no brainer, bfg ftw.

    Been hearing that the wear rate on BFG's has gone south a lot in recent times, softer compounds or something, total pub talk but wondering is there any truth in it?

    Cooper discoverers are literally all the rage in Australia atm, the work 'cruisers I had out there were on them, do just as good mileage as the bfg's according to the boss man, he runs all his trailers on BFG's, and the utes on coopers.

    If all that's in it is 130 euro then bfg all day every day. What size are they? I paid over 700 few months ago for 265/70-16s

    They're not badly priced wherever your getting them. Take the bfg, you won't be disappointed. Best all rounder there is, give massive mileage too. :)

    I've used them on my work vehicles (hilux) out here in Australia. Pretty good tyres and have a decent reputation over here too. Pretty much all my driving would be off road, dirt roads, sandy tracks, wet mud etc...

    I have general grabbers on my navara with 80000km on them now and still plenty of wear on them. Can't fault them

    Supposed to be a great tyre too. The at2s or at3s? The latter ain't as good I believe

    I've never used the BF's but the Toyo are ok in the wet. We're getting 20-40mm of rain per day at the minute. Obviously not driving 100kmh in those conditions on the highway.

    I've got a set of 235/85R16 General grabbers on my old Landcruiser and they are pretty good in all conditions for a skinny tyre on a 4X4. Good thread, I've only done about 10,000K on them, mostly highway and they feel pretty solid.
