Hi,
I'm getting ready for a long expedition starting in 2012, and thinking about tyres. I'm quite happy with slow, so I'll go with a small size (i.e. I dont need tall tyres to gear me up). I'm debating between the 12.5x20 (335//80R20) Continental MPT81, or the michelin 12.00 or 365/80R20 XZL
The continental seems to be regarded as quieter on the road, and both seem pretty good when new (or almost new) for both off road grip, and for being puncture resistant.
I'll be running pretty heavy for a 1300L, probably over 7,000KG.
Any comments on these tyres, and should I be concidering a third option?
