Hi,
I fitted Mickey Thompson Tyre MTX on my new Prado. It stacked up well in recent magz test.
Performing overall better than BFG, and on par with Cooper, Cooper had an advantage only on gravel,MTX advantage on road, both equal on fire trails and sand.
I have done 20,000 with 40% on dirt/tails, getting ready to do 7 days in high country, spoke to my tyre dealer about need to go for a tuffer tyre for the trip and he knocked back the sale saying that with the reinforced walls, full width steel belts this is a fine tyre and that I should just go with it for the trip.

Hope this helps
Regards
Joe

Hi Deansa,
I quickly checked the notes from article, and was wrong on BFG, They were the poorest performer on gravel and sand of the 3 tyres. BFG sligthy better on road and fire tails.
On Road. MT3...Cooper3...BFG3.5
Fire Trail MT4...Cooper4...BFG4.5
Gravel MT3...Cooper5...BFG2
Sand MT4...Cooper4...BFG3
