Splits and Crossplies

Al

Most of them came from his place...lol

Toyota splits do not fit the Nissan unfortunately. There are lots of them lying around here including the 5 stud ones.

The MRF Superlug is not unlike the old Jeep Service Bar Tread, but with an off-set lug

There are many gravel roads to take from where you live........ if you are heading into the sunset......:-)

Willem,
The stud configuration matches between Nissan & Toyota you just have to grind/ machine the centres out about 2mm.
You're one hell of a fella if you put plugs in side walls and then get back on the road?????? Very dangerous!

What is dangerous about it?

I have now travelled 10,000km since the last stake. One tyre started leaking again and I stuck another two plugs in it.

I cant see the problem.

The Nissan has small lugs on the hubs of the front wheels as well and old Nissan(G60) rims and Toyotas do not fit. This from experience.

This year I have managed to stake 13 tyres in my travels. Some of the sidewall cuts on the radials have 4 plugs in them. They seem to tear with use and then inevitably needs another plug. One tyre should really be repaired by a professional mob but I keep it on the spare.

I realise that the Superlugs could be a tad uncomfortable for highway use but I intend doing some over grown tracks and Off Track touring in the future and will use these tyres for those purposes. MRF produce a number of variants and the Superlug looks as if it will be a compromise tyre for my use. Crossply tyres are known for sidewall strength.

No, I will not carry the tyres and swap them over when in the bush. I will minimise my bitumen travel when going to my destination

For normal road driving, gravel roads and also Simpson Desert treks I will still stay with the Cooper STT's as they performed very well with low tyre pressures on sand. I will still be running the Eldorados for normal trips on the trailer and the Dunlop Road Grippers for Off track treks.

I don't have any immediate use for them V8Diesel, but will try them out in January when I caretake a station in the Flinders Ranges and should be able to give an initial report then.

Like with everything else, it is all trial and error :-)

I have just had word from Mick Hutton and Connie Sue Beadell that I should go for the Super Miler MRF and will now take your and their advice and swap the Super Lugs over for them.

Cheers

Thanks Davoe. Yes I intend to fit the better tubes when I fit the tyres.

Hi Mike
