Alex C Posted July 3, 2018 Report Share Posted July 3, 2018 Ive got them on my Vitara. Bit noisy but they are great in the mud. Seem to be wearing ok too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jason g Posted July 3, 2018 Report Share Posted July 3, 2018 Very noisy tyres special tracks are the worse. I run Saharas and there noisy be cautious of what your running and I have found that they seem to wear pretty quickly. Why you thinking of insa turbo there are other good brands which are quieter. Bf goodridge mt or at. Hope this helps Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

team tractor Posted July 3, 2018 Report Share Posted July 3, 2018 All remoulded tyres . I’m thinking of the insa Dakar . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
landy george Posted July 4, 2018 Report Share Posted July 4, 2018 Nothing wrong with insa turbo Dakar here, my first set did over 20k miles & only took them off cos I didn't want to swop them over in the winter time. I'm getting to old for laying around on the cold wet floor. Sold them on still with 5mm of tread left. Can't going wrong for the money but the bigger sizes you may have problems balancing them, ended up putting in dyna beads (devon 4x4) in them in the end.

la bala Posted July 4, 2018 Author Report Share Posted July 4, 2018 Most of my permissions are within 5 miles so mostly off road. I was running 235x70x16 on my series 88 inch. Have decided to come down to 205x80x16 which is very much on par with the old cross plys she would have come out with. Ordered today, now busy derusting and painting wheels Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is a bit more oversteer but I am already used to that. All in all, with the new parabolics and tyres the old girl sits nice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hendrix's rifle Posted August 2, 2018 Report Share Posted August 2, 2018 Or look at the malatesta kobras, good on the road wet or dry and great off the road. My Old man had them on his disco and they behaved really well through everything, I'm getting a pair for the jimny soon. One thing about them, check your clearance on the arches as they have 18mm of tread Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
