Tyre for CSR

Ean,

the Canning is one of those tracks that taken with forthought, you should should escape many tyre issues. I’m not personally familiar with the goodyear silent armour although have read a bit about them. Providing you are not overloaded to billy-o, your suspension is up to the task and you drive according to the conditions using tyre pressure appropriately, I’d say you would be fine. I’ve passed stock Prado’s and wait for it, a Toyota Rav 4 full of uni students on the Canning. Weight will be a big factor for the tyres so you’d want to consider your final GVM and the tyres load rating as a consideration bearing in mind you may well be running them at very low pressures.

Cheers Mick

Stick with your Silent Armours, they are a good AT tyre, and air down well for the bad corrugations and the soft sand. I used them when they first came out and had a good run. I used them on the Canning too!

We did the canning last june in our 120 Prado with BF Goodrich AT. Had no tyre probs at all. Ran them at about 20psi from start to finish going North. Took our time and watched where I was driving! Take it easy and you'll be fine.

I'd say if you ditched half the spares and that trailer your tyres will be fine - what recovery vehicle are you using ?
