I recently had some pulled off a ute coz they were spinning the wire into the inside causing punctures. pretty average tyre. (actually flattened one just the other day) I am not a fan but having said that I have driven more vehicles with them on than I care to remember and they have been ok - there are far better tyres out there in the 235 catagory that will suit your rims that are 10 ply instead of 8

If the tyres are doing everything you need and are returning a satisfactory mileage, there is no reason to change to something else.

If you are unhappy with them in any way then it's probably a good idea to try and find a better tyre.

The tyres can be obtained reasonably cheaply (205x 16 cost me $165 fitted and balanced) as take off's that is one reason i have stuck with them. have got 50000 out of my last set which was ok - they had a bit of a rough life initially.

Gerhardp1 That is the most accurate and simple reply I have seen for a while.

Roadgrippers are utter rubbish Johnnotoo, I kid you not mate, they are complete crap.

From your post it appears you won't be doing any "off-road" work which may make them passable, but from bitter experience I can assure you they are worse than useless in the bush. May as well just run on the inner tubes as they have far more sidewall strength.

Look what people in the know who actually earn their living in the area use, that's the best indicator. (ignore the govvie or fleet vehicles though)

Johnnotoo replied:

Thanks to everyone for your response. Lots of good advice. As we do go 'off road' at times and will probably visit the Cape next year, I am going towards 10 ply tires so will probably change them over.

Thanks again

John
