Oh No Not Tyres Again

Hi Allan

Not sure about Maxxis, just remeber as they say, the only thing between you and the road are your tyres, not some thing to skimp on. That seems like a great price, hopefully they are a good tyre.

Hi Allan
Saw this tyre test while Googling:

Alan,
My LX470 does about 40k a year too. The BFG ATs are 2 years old and still have lots of meat left. This is far and away the best run I've had. No punctures in two years.
I reckon an unknown brand might keep the rims off the road for a year, but it may be false economy if you plan on keeping the vehicle for more than a year.
I have Cooper STs on the Disco. I had no punctures at all on last year's mega trip, but they show a disturbing amount of wear.

I have been running Goodyear AT/S for 7 years now and have averaged about 75k on each set. Went to replace them on our Landcruiser and Hilux but were unable to as they are no longer available. Managed to track 1 set down for the cruiser but none for the hilux. Looked at the Maxxis but opted for the Goodyear MT/R. Bit more road noise but looked far more superiour. Don't know what milage I will get, but hopefully will be about the same as the AT/S. They are more expensive but I believe that you get what you pay for. All you have to do is weigh up your options and with what you really want to do in your vehicle than decide. It's your choice and we can only comment, not tell you which way to go. That's my opinion anyway.

I went through allt his a while ago, and ended up fitting Kumhos to our Patrol. so far very happy - although we have only had them about 6 months.
