dodeer Posted September 10, 2007 Report Share Posted September 10, 2007 Had my 57 plate Hilux double cab for just over a week and done nearly 2000 miles in it! Lovely vehicle to drive but not to good over the rough stuff, especially with the tyres it was sold with. It has alloy 15" wheels. I'm looking for a decent A/T tyre that will last for 20,000 miles . Use the vehicle for a lot of double gun loading days on a big shoot close by which is very flinty so need tough side walls etc. Any ideas on what to go for, bear in mind the 15" rims. Any thing that would raise it up slighty again an advantage. Idealy don't want to pay more than £120 per tyre ( x5). Cheers guys Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers guys If you have to drive over alot of sharp flints wouldnt it be better to try some cheapo tyres for the first season at least, I can imagine you crying bucketloads of tears seeing an expensive new tyre ruined by a flint in the sidewall first day out? Just a thought maybe keep another set of real offroad tyres n wheels just for use during the season. D2D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lurcherboy Posted September 10, 2007 Report Share Posted September 10, 2007 Only the really radical offers can save you from snakebite Sam. Try to do a deal locally as the mail order firm have 'added' costs. LB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

al4x Posted September 11, 2007 Report Share Posted September 11, 2007 if you do a lot of miles don't bother with re-moulds. I've colways on my truck and they are fine for what they are cheap tyres, they take loads of lead to balance and still aren't great fine for me as it never goes that far. What you want are BFG all terrains my last set were on the truck for 60K they give a good mix of off road ability and on road comfort. these people seem to give some very good prices and do them mail order as well. they will be well within budget and the sidewalls are pretty well designed to prevent damade. Mine were fine despite a year of the missus driving them against kerbs! http://www.elitedirect.com/02-tyres/tyresb...%20F%20Goodrich Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

catroofel Posted September 11, 2007 Report Share Posted September 11, 2007 a set of GoodyearA/T 205 r 15 h's should do the trick, good on the miles bril on the mud used em loads of times as i used to work in a tyre bay. had no trouble with em at all. used to sell them like hot cakes to people with 4x4's Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dodeer Posted September 12, 2007 Author Report Share Posted September 12, 2007 Got a set of BFG A/T waiting for me on Saturday. £80 per tyre Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
al4x Posted September 13, 2007 Report Share Posted September 13, 2007 good move, I'm really regretting putting the colway copies on mine this time, they are cheaper but they aren't as good off road and definitely don't give the same ride. Having said that they've done 30K so far and don't even look half worn. I think they'll go through perishing though rather than wear.
