Hi all gonna buy me a set of 235 85 special tracks with in the next couple of months and just wondering what kind of mileage people have had from them, just wondering if i decide to use it for my 50miles a week trip to work and back if it will chew them up .
 
special tracks are an extreme mud tyre.
not recommended for regular use on the road - they're very dodgy on wet tarmac.
doubt they'll last more than 3 - 4k on road.
they're also very noisy and give poor fuel consumption.
 
I got about 12k to a set of fronts and my rears are only half worn after approx 18k. My landy is used extensively for towing other vehicles on slippery surfaces. I rekon I would've got about 15-18k out of the fronts if I hadn't of worn them out spinning em on ice.
 
i find the specail traks very noisey on road m8 there ideal for what there made for and thats as an off road agressive tyre i use mi ats during week and change them on a weekend to go offroadin
 
Today was the nearest I've been to getting my landy stuck when it's had special tracks fitted. I don't think I would have got out without waffles or a winch/tow if I was using any normal mud tyres. As it was they managed to find some grip and clawed me out.
 
hi thanks for replys the noise and fuel dosent bother me my 90 is preped and for off roading its just at the min im useing the wifes punto and dont think ill be willing to drive it when the 90`s back on the road, think i could cope with 15k that would be about 2-3 years driving in it , i just didnt want to be replacing them every year.
