2bangs Posted March 21, 2010 Report Share Posted March 21, 2010 Insa's are a good tyre, I have ran remoulds on most of my 4x4s and had no bother, lots of offroading and road use, the good thing about remoulds on a 4x4 is that you won't be doing warp 3 on them.

fendrover90 Posted March 21, 2010 Report Share Posted March 21, 2010 my mate has run both all terrains and mud terrain insa turbo's on a landy all terrains lasted a bit longer than muds but then he's used 2 sets to my one i'm on bfg muds we both do roughly the same miles insa's being about half the price of bfg's no choice realy.spend the money :unsure: it will pay in the long run Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chrispti Posted March 21, 2010 Report Share Posted March 21, 2010 Insa Turbo Ranger, General Grabber AT2 are ''apparently'' as good as BFG AT's, but dont last as long. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beardo Posted March 22, 2010 Report Share Posted March 22, 2010 i've just stuck a set of Amazon Technic Kingpin MT's on my fronty - cheap remolds same tread i believe as the Insa Turbos Dakar. Only had them a couple of weeks though so too early to say how they wear. bloody good offroad though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Conygree Posted March 22, 2010 Report Share Posted March 22, 2010 I have a spare set of Insa 31 x 10.5 - 15 on my L200 for local + mud use, they are noisy on the road but work well in the mud, seam to wear ok. But as with other M/T's in clay mud when you spin the wheels and the tread fills you may as well have a set of road tyres on. Got stuck last week when winching out trees using the rear winch on soft ground, didn't notice it started to sink 6" in to the mire. It wouldn't drive out, so used the 4tonne winch doubled up with a pulley to pull me out, so it was well stuck. Otherwise the tyres work well as any.

Andy75 Posted March 22, 2010 Report Share Posted March 22, 2010 Used to use Insa turbo Sahara's on my Fronty sport - good tyre, tho the MPG went thro the floor Good tyres, go for it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MITCHF Posted March 23, 2010 Report Share Posted March 23, 2010 Got Insa Turbo Ranger's on my Disco, fitted last summer. Wear is no problem, off road are very good, not noisy on road. This is the second 4x4 I've put them on, never had a problem. Don't hesitate , they're bloody good value. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
