i've been reading up on tyres lately and am pretty impressed by how much variety, technology and specialist design is out there for 4wd tyres (rockcrawlers aside)
now, im not in need of new tyres and new to the subject so this is more of a conversational post rather then a Q&A post....
how do you guys choose what boots to run? design style, weekend or weekday performance, lifespan, brand name, all of the above???
the basic concept as i understand is muddies for mud and all terrains for assorted terrain but what if you want to do serious mud driving/water crossings AND sand/dune driving? doesn't the design concept of a mud tyre and all terrain tyre (sand biased for arguments sake) contradict each other?
is it a case of missing out on one type of fun for the sake of better performance with the other type of fun......?
bare in mind this doesnt even include tarmac performance, lifespan and braking into the equation....
i've stumbled onto a few dated tyre shootouts but nothing really stands out as the BEST type of 4WD tyre!!
i'd hate to have to buy tyres for different conditions cos they sure aint cheap.
