Thanks for that.

How are the 753's on the road and in rainy conditions?

On the road they are a little bit noise but not as bad as some other M/T, as for in the rain they are OK for a off-road tyre.

I have had Maxxis Buckshot Mudders on both of my Jimnys and they are superb, great grip in the mud and reasonably quiet on the road too. I run 235/75's on mine but I have a 2" bodylift and 2" suspension lift but still needed to trim the arches.

Well hench!

Awesome looking, but probably more than I need.

Cheers.

If it wasn't for the arches needing to be trimmed the buckshot would be the other tyre top of my list. :(

They do look good. I've just ordered my black steelies and will order the tyres soon, as I think my local tyre fitter might be able to get hold of them.

Been a while since last topic on this thread.
I am also scanning for some tires upgrade namely 205/75 R15 for my 2012 stock suspension grey Rat.
Quite attracted to MT-753 and eager to find out more. Could you maybe share some more feedback based on your (long term) experience with those? I am mostly interested on how they handle snow and icy conditions. They just don’t look like adequate m&s tires to me...
Many thanks.

Have a look at Kumho KL71's. Mud terrains that are good on road and quiet yet ok in the muddy stuff.
