I suggest some BFG mud terrains. Pretty basic tyre but great for slippery climbs.
But if your into crawling through mud i would go for boggers on the rear and swampers on the front.
Dude. Did you even BOTHER reading the thread? If you would care to recall scblack states on the first page that he is doing relativly little, if not any off road driving. Its for a family car which will see predominantly road use.
Fact: The next tyre I will buy will be a BFGoodrich AT KO, best tyre on the market hands down.
BFG ATs are great tyres, but if your doing little off road work, then frankly, a waste of pennies. You might get a little more life out of the Radial All Terrains but honestly, you would be better off going for the Long Trails or something similar. They are made esspecially for offroaders that rarely go offroad.
Fact: Mickey Thompson are for big beared men in big 4WDs with really small dicks that wave in the wind while hanging out at those "Tough Truck" rallies.
Mickey Thompson Dick Cepek FT-II All Terrains are up there with the Cooper ST and the BFG AT and I think, given the price, how long they actually last and how they stacked up against the Cooper and the BFG, if your after an AT, definatly check them out.
One tyre I am not a fan of and have had a bit of experience with is the Kelly Safari MSR. Anyone else used these? I found them to be weak as piss. Didnt last very long at all and were slipperly on loose gravel roads where many other tyres we have used previously shine.
scblack; keep in mind that I think many of the repliers here have meerly seen '4WD tyres' and hit reply with a host of irrelevant responces. I personally think you were on the right track going for the Pirelli's. While they will not give you as much grip off road as a BFGoodrich AT or whatever, they will last longer and provide better handling for the purpose that you initially intended.
