The never ending story..Tyres

Never go with cheapbleeptires, it aint worth it. You want the best of both worlds, grip offroad, onroad, wet, dry, and last 30300330gigaklms???

Running 2 sets of wheels is the BEST option, but not always practical and some people get the chits with changin all the time. Doesnt bother me only takes 20 mins.

I like my Simex's offroad and my MTR's on road on my GQ.... both work well for their design.

Don't buy cheap crap. Only rich men can afford to do that.

Don't buy second hand. Why are they second hand ? Where have they been ? Is the guy selling them the guy who had them on his car ?

only if you want them for rock crawling or mud bashing, then go for it.
But for "on road", never !!

I can't speak for coopers, but I have had a few sets of BFG AT's and would get them again, no sweat. I know people who swear by desert deulers, and thats fine by me if they are happy, but myself and my brother and a few good mates have tried cheaper tyres and generally have not been happy.

(if you use desert duelers and you like them, please don't abuse me, i've heard it all before. Sorry ! )

If you go HARD CORE when you go offroad, then you may need 2 sets. If, like the rest of us, you spend 80% of the time driving to work and shopping etc; and then go off road for camping and fishing etc; one set of quality tyres will last you a long time.

Go for the BFG's mate. Good all round tyre, excellent value for money.

I have got a set of Coopers- STs. They balance no trouble on a set of Sunnies, don't track at all. I've had them up through the Vic High County & Stockton beach worked well in both those locations ( was wet at times in the H/C). Also they have a 80,000km guarentee on the tread.Am planning to do the CSR in August will give a further update.

Personaly Boo, I would go for...........wait for it..........THE ARCHIVES! and if I cuoldn't make a decision after spending ALL night reading all the info on tyres in there I would probably shoot myself to put myself out of my misery!

Good luck and happy reading

Tyres what to buy for my GQ?, just went through that exercise,desert duellers, wranglers,coopers.
In the end brought Goodyear Wranglers ATR, got them for a bargain price from Beaurepaires $145.00 ea fitted,sometimes you can have a win.
Had Dunlop AT's before no complaints.
Best of luck with your decision.

After being bitterly disappointed with both the wear rate & durability of Cooper Sts, I have vowed that I will never pay that sort of money for tyres again.
At the moment I am trying Firestone MTRs, got to say that to date, I am very impressed, but as with the Coopers, only time will tell.

I read above that someone is hoping for 80,000 out of the STs .... GOOD LUCK!

Thanks for ALL the feedback from one and all...
I realise this subject has been wipped to death but after trying to sort through the archives prior to posting it, I figured you could still be scratchin ya gonads three days later and still have no firm idea.

Thanks fellers.
