hmmmm,,,,,lets see now.
i sure dont have a toorak tractor( the multiple scratches down the side, and the repairs from a hapless emu testify to that.)
now onto the tyres.
after 12 months and 45,000k, the Toyo's are less than half worn.
bitumen: (wet or dry), excellent grip- tho slightly squirmy till the sheen rubs off the tread.
sand: done largely at 20psi( ranging from beach to the
Francois Peron National Park-W.A.),,,,only once down to 16psi.(pulling a bogged landcruiser out :) )
Rock :some slippage as would be expected from an A/T tyre (however,,,a lot grippier than the original bridgestones)
mud: very surprised at the tyres abillity to shed mud fairly quickly, i think in large due to the more open tread pattern.
dirt roads : very good grip,,usually deflate to 25psi.
generally run at 36psi around town unladen.
vehicle is a 2002 patrol wagon.
hope this helps.
