Andy75 Posted April 2, 2007 Report Share Posted April 2, 2007 Insa turbo "sahara", in 235x70x16 http://www.insaturbo.com/e_neumaticos_terreno.html Great off-road, not too shabby on road either, but a bit of road noise. £44 a corner fitted too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pin Posted April 2, 2007 Author Report Share Posted April 2, 2007 Will be 50/50 so I think I want an AT tyre, looked at Enduro's, Kumoh's and the BFg's so far - and now the Insa turbos (retreads so not sure on that) and the LASSA's but don't know much about them..

Suffolk shooter Posted April 2, 2007 Report Share Posted April 2, 2007 I've got Yokohama Geolander AT's on my 110 CSW. Excellant hybrid tyres. Big nobbles for good grip off road, but quiet on road and last really well. Got mine from www.mytyres.net, approx £65 each including delivery and cost me £20 the lot to get fitted about two and a half years ago.

Wookie Posted April 2, 2007 Report Share Posted April 2, 2007 I've got Khumo road bias 245/75 16's on my Frontera, mainly because pretty much all of my driving is on roads. You want to talk to SimonP about tyres... He's just put some new rubber on his V6 Fronty so he can use it as a plaything in gravel pits.

Andy75 Posted April 2, 2007 Report Share Posted April 2, 2007 A lot of the low-end MT's will be remoulds, best to check before buying if it worries you. I didn't want to spend £££'s on rubber choice as I have split up sidewalls etc on sharp rocks in the past. I only do 4,000 miles a year tops, so are lasting really well!

pin Posted April 2, 2007 Author Report Share Posted April 2, 2007 I've never bought remoulds or retreads before, they have probably come on a long way from their deserved dodgy reputation years ago - just don't know on that score so by default thought I would have new.. Looking into it you seem to save like £15 a corner, not sure I would risk it for that given I will do miles on the road in this thing. If it were for purely offroad then I would get them no question - only worried about speed on the motorway.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MC Posted April 2, 2007 Report Share Posted April 2, 2007 I agree about remoulds but too be honest there are so many tyre manufacturers competing for business you don't have to go too far from the mainstream to save a lot of money. My Disco doesn't go fast enough to worry about speed ratings, I agree about remoulds but too be honest there are so many tyre manufacturers competing for business you don't have to go too far from the mainstream to save a lot of money.

Tony9r Posted April 2, 2007 Report Share Posted April 2, 2007 Kumho Road Venture MT's 31x10.5 R15's - great on the ruff stuff ... but noisey on the road Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Suffolk shooter Posted April 2, 2007 Report Share Posted April 2, 2007 SS, Your tyres have lasted so well as your landie hasn't moved off your drive for 2 years MC, To be fair my Landie has been Sorn for 13 months, but before that i used to go Green Laneing, Gravel pitting, Salt Marsh crossing, Beach Crossing as well as do decent miles on the road It has traversed many a LRO off road course and even small hills of Shale, gravel etc The only reason it is SORN is due to the fact that it is a 3.5Litre V8 Petrol Engine and would cost somewhere in the region of £70 to fill up the tank for between 180-220 miles. Not the most economical, but certainly the most enjoyable SS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
duster Posted April 2, 2007 Report Share Posted April 2, 2007 Wildcat ext 225-75-R16 on my series 3, 7.50x16 Goodyear xtra-grips on my series 2a. Wildcats are better, they're radials. Old Goodyears are xplys and noisy as hell, dangerous in the wet, touch the brakes on a roundabout and you go sideways. I think the xplys are better off road though, especially for climbing out of ruts. Cheers Duster Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very good tyres. I'm pleased to hear they wear well, as I was expecting them not to last very long. For the openness of the tread, they stick very well to wet roads so I assumed they had a softer compound than most. For roadholding and mud ability in one tyre, they are very good Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
al4x Posted April 3, 2007 Report Share Posted April 3, 2007 It depends a bit what they are going on, if its a refined vehicle then you really don't want mud terrains as the grip on road is not great and you get stacks of road noise from them. but if you spend most of your time off road and hardly go over 50 on the road they are fine. For 50/50 theres only really one really good tyre and its the BFG all terrain, I've had a set on my fourtrak and now have a set of the colway copies that are re-moulds given the choice again I'd probably go for the real thing. the colways saved money but were a ****** to balance and do vibrate a bit at 70. Having said that they've been on 3 years and are only @half worn after 30K, the BFG's were good for 50K so really are good tyres for the money. OK aren't as good for hardcore off roading but then most of my permissions would tell me to go forth and multiply if I started churning up their tracks to that degree Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
