Has anyone run Adventuro MT's

Postby suza2 » Wed Aug 26, 2009 4:59 am

I am looking at replacing my Firestone ATX tyre's which have been great but Firestone nolonger make them :twisted: :cry: . I have looked at the new Firestone MT tyre but it dosn't look quite right for what I do and I have seen some issues on friends vehicles with both there Distinatation HT and AT. So I have started looking around and the GT Radial Adventuro looks like it might do the trick but I cann't find anyone who I know who is running them to see how they go.

There were 2 ATX tyres. One was an AT the other was the most aggressive in there range. The new Destination MT is winning a few fans in Wellington but is only in 31 inch.
The Adventuro is getting mixxed reviews with people absolutelu loveing them or hateing them. They dont hold sidles as well as other tyres. Also they arent lasting as well as the old Savero. You can still find Saveros if you hunt around

My mate had those adventuros and he hated them, he's had GT Saveros for years and love them. The adventuro's don't go very well off road, and don't hold well on a wet road either.
Oh how i miss my mu, the lux is just not the same :(

Well today was a great day I managed to find possibly the last ever set of Firestone ATX so at this stage I don't need to change

They dont have a lot of side grip but heaps of in line grip so they will blast you through a mud hole like the best tyres but are more likely to slip on a side slope.
A similar comment has been made about baja claws and there copies
