What Tyres Do You Roll On?
« on: August 08, 2011, 11:39:01 AM »
Gday, this has probably been done in the past, But

What tyres do you all run on?

i roll on Cooper ST's. 255 75 16.

They replaced my Toyo AT. Personally i have loads more confidence in the dirt and also in the wet stuff.

And Road noise is comparable too!!

Cheers

Had Cooper ATRs and did Ok but destroyed them fast. 40000K

Now have MTZ 4 rib, great tire in the mud and on the dirt, useless in the wet, 4wd drift everywhere.

Wear is Ok but will struggle to get 80K out of them.

Noise is acceptable. Certainly compared to my exhaust system

I would like to see a Poll attached to this thread if this was possible, with all the tyre brands listed as options.

My Patrol rolls on: BF Goodrich All-terrains (265R75.16) for highway touring
                        : BF Goodrich Mud-terrains (305R70.16) for off-road touring and play

My Camp-o-matic rolls on: BF Goodrich All-terrains (265R75.16) all the time.

BFG, KM2 mud terrains.
35 x 12.5 x 15..........camper and car.
Traction on dirt / mud / rock /sand is excelent, but in the wet it's not hard to make them break out   >:D
Happy with the wear, been to the Cape twice and a fare amount of off road work, no chipping or cuts or flats.
Noise..............can't hear them for the motor  ;D

BFG's KM2 muddys 285/75/16's were put on the Patrol just before the Cape trip this year. I'm wrapped in them. Not as noisy as I thought they would be. The traction is very good off road and very good on the dry blacktop. Waiting for some rain, to see what they are like driving on the wet blacktop.  

The CT has BFG 285/75/16 A/T.  They came off the patrol and straight onto the CT.

32" Cooper ST Maxx.  The Man loves staring at them ???  They do look good on the ute.  And they are relatively quiet.

Currently 265/75 MickeyT MTZs but these are just about shot, not sure what I'll go with next to be honest, after the MTZ I am over tyre noise, but I do like the grip they give both offroad and on the tarmac, at this stage the next tyre will probably be BF KM2 muds unless I find a compelling reason to go with something else.

BFG KM2's, in probably the smallest size on this forum (245/75r16)  ;D. Love them. As the others have said, quiet on road, huge grip, bag out well, love to climb. Have done one wet season with them on, and wet weather grip was ridiculously good for such an open tread. Same tyres on the camper, same size, interchangeable with the car. So far, wearing very well.

The KM2's replaced a set of Maxxis ATs. If anything, I think I had a bit more confidence in fast, loose gravel with the AT's. The KM2's like to fling the gravel away and skate a bit whilst hunting/digging for grip. The AT's seemed to drive over the gravel a bit better. AT's were perfect in the sand too, but so far the KM2's are just as good in that regard, if not better.

I'm too lazy to have two sets of tyres  ;D



Thanks!
Matto :)

Pirrelli Scorpion ATR's.

No complaints for what they do which is 90% on-road. Pretty quiet, good in the wet, OK off-road ... at least compared with the diesel engine. Done around 15000kms so far and are just starting to show signs of wear.

We'll see if I've changed my mind after our trip to Lake Eyre in September :D

BFG AT 265/70/16 on the Prado and 245/70(?)/16 for the trailer if they ever arrive!....(265's not enough guard clearance sadly)

If BFG supply doesn't improve I won't use them again - one stuffed carcass and I'd be unable to replace, which is a worry.

Just put a set of Cooper Discoverer ST Maxx 265/75/16 on the Hilux.
They look like a very good looking tyre with an extra heavy duty carcass.

Upgraded from Cooper ST in a 245/75/16.
The new ones are very quiet on the road compared to the oldies, plus they fill the front guard out much more.

I have used BFG ATs for over 10 years, and think they're fantastic! I was really surprised to read in 4wd Action that they came only 3rd or 4th in a comparo of AT tyres, with the Pirelli Scorpions 1st I think.

I've been getting 80,000 out of each set with ease, and 100K is possible though they're no good for 4wding by that stage.

I'm keen to try KM2s next.
