which set

Hey Pat,

you may recall that I was asking recently about muddies & I'm currently thinking I'll go for the Goodyears, not the Coopers or BFG's.

You were saying that you were gunna try yours out.......any more detail e.g.
- road noise
- how low did you run them in the sand?
- squirm at low pressures
- reports?
- likely mileage

Thanks

Rick

G'Day Rick,

Gave them a good workout at Big Desert. Found three big, steep, soft sandhills. Got up them all but had to drop to about 10-12 psi for one of them (they still didn't look like they were bagging out and vulnerable to stakes). They got up with no dramas after a couple of goes. Mate in a 60 series had to go as low as 8psi on one hill with BFG a/ts (one of which was staked later in the day). Another guy got up one hill in his pajero but you could hear one or more tyres spinning all the way up.

Now have 10K kms on them and have one or two small ears in the lugs. probably domne playing in a quarry last week on sone sharp rocks. Again no problem at any stage with traction. I'm getting them rotated next wek and will measure the tread against a new one to see how much wear has occured. They are slightly noisier now than new but not really a problem.

Thanks for the reply.

Keep us posted regarding the wear Vs a new tyre......although upon reflection, I'll probably kill the tyre (staking, taers, etc) before the tread is down to relpacement stage.

Cheers
