Bigant Posted June 12, 2010 Share Posted June 12, 2010 I have the opportunity to pick up some BFG Mud terrains at a good price and I was wondering if anyone has used them for trialling? Most vehicles use diamond pattern tyres or the really aggressive "special track" design. Any thought sor input gratefully received.

MrHT Posted June 13, 2010 Share Posted June 13, 2010 the year I trialed on them I won overall so yeah there pretty good. originals are better than remolds for dropping tire pressure as they hold shape better. you didn't mention what size they were? i'm assuming 235/85 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bigant Posted June 13, 2010 Author Share Posted June 13, 2010 Hi Thanks for the input, the tyres I am looking at are actually 265/85/16, do you think they will be too wide for trialling? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nicks90 Posted June 14, 2010 Share Posted June 14, 2010 we have a good smattering of people in our trials club who run BFGs, remould normal mud terrains, machos/sahara type directionals, simex remoulds etc. cant say that any particular type massively outperforms another overall, depends on the terrain obviously - but we're talking RTVs here, not bottomless bog' challenge events! one thing i would say is there are several types of terrain that the special tracks are rubbish on, but excel on others. Yesterdays trial with YORC at briercliffe quarry was a good mixture of mud, grass, loose shale and rocks. Top 5 vehicles wore genuine simex, bfg muds, insa sahara, bfg clone remoulds. Driver skill on a properly set out trial will be more important than tyre type (within reason). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
