Get the MTR's, they grip like 14 year old school boy,

these have been my best wearing tyres to date.

and they hold onto the bead extremely well without beadlocks at low pressures.

Parr, also consider the Procomp Extreme MT's, they are very similar to an MTR in design and construction.

the mtrs work great, they bag out like a whore on 7psi. The grip is great on rocks (main terrain I have driven) and have had no issues through other terrains either. I have noticed they clean out very quickly to 8-)

on the weekend I was running 20psi in them as I couldn't be bothered lowering them and they still worked a treat

Hey mate I'm looking at building a tray in the next few weeks and was wondering if there is any chance u can get me a measurement from the chassis mounts to the bottom of the sheet metal floor just wondering so I have something to go from higher or lower. Any help would be appreciated.

Cheers Russ

Great photo Aaron.

Good to see it getting a work out... I got a few turns of pushing it in and out of Buds shop a few weeks ago.

Cheers

rusty, approx 125mm

matt, yea it still needs a clutch start first time then turns over every time after that, have a few ideas on the issue but I hardly every drive it so I havn't bothered looking into it. Buddy had the keys last night and took it out on a decent run from what I hear
