[davracing]

My new tyres!!!!

[lighthammer]

waw noice one man.
where u buy them, and for how much?

did u do a lift for them to fit?

[badart]

looking great!

[Slow Poke]

most important are they noisy..............

[davracing]

They were about $1200 for one @ Quickserv.Not very noisy for mud terrains and it fitting on the stock suspension!!

[Haunted]

tires lookin small

what size u runnin?

[Team Loco]

pretty, wondering about the road noise once they get older. i would still keep a stock set around for daily driving

[Jeremy Mohd]

To hell with da noise... Put up the glass and turn on the radio..

1200 is a damm good pricee...
REALLLL good price

Looks small though... like a 255/70/15

[3stagevtec]

I seeing 31"s on the sidewalls.. but at $1200each! that's insane!

[badart]

1200 is real good,, considering downgrading to 15's hmm

[Jeremy Mohd]

3stage - insane how??

1200 for a quality tyre these days, is realll good. Wonder if that was VatEx price.
Because 1380 for 1 sounds more correct, but still low!

[3stagevtec]

insane as in I though they were $1800+ each! and I almost bought a set for my Vitara once, good thing they didn't have the size I required at the time..

[venum]

besss rubbers there at excellent price

[Haunted]

i paid 950 a tyre for mine...
i honestly find bf is way over priced unless u go to some hole in the wall where has them

[lighthammer]

The sidewall says "31 x 10 50R15".

The 15-inch tyres are a bit cheaper than the 16's.

Best price I could have gotten the 16's for was $1550 at Quikserv in Marabella. And that was on discount from $1800.

[Haunted]

once again you have to go to a hole in the wall to get them for good prices.....i went with my padna to some hole in the wall down aranguez and he paid bout 790 a tire for 33x 11.5 bfs all terrains on a 16 inch rim

[badart]

^ where he bought the bfs?

[nick009]

that safe to drive on the road?

[3stagevtec]

What pressure you running? Looks overinflated? Shouldn't need more than 28psi at the rear.. We run 25psi in the B2500 (27 up front)..

[badart]

the max pressure for those tires according to tirerack is 50 psi

[Jeremy Mohd]

3stage, you dont think that 25 in the back is too soft?

[bleedingfreak]

3stage, you dont think that 25 in the back is too soft?

To each vehicle and tyre the pressures would be different eh... I run 33 psi in the Hilux cause anything softer and the ride comfort decreases dramatically...

But 25psi in the rear will cause you to slide the rear alot, and possibly spin out.

PLus you cant carry any load in that there tray

[bleedingfreak]

the max pressure for those tires according to tirerack is 50 psi

Yes but that is under LOAD

If you carrying 12 bag of TCL finest in the tray, you would have to up the pressure to 44 psi or so... The max pressure just means DO NOT exceed that pressure or risk the thing disintegrating on yuh

not in our case.. the rear tyres wear perfectly even. we had originally started out at 30psi rear and 32psi up front, but started noticing the inside / center of the tyre wearing out faster..

after we lowered the pressures, every thing evened out over time and stayed that way. ride comfort also improved, especially over rough terrain thanks to the 'softer' tyres.

never noticed any tendencies for the rear wanting to slide out either. i have driven that vehicle pretty aggressively on winding roads, really pushing it through corners and there is always a slight hint of understeer. only in wet conditions, the rear will step out, and that depends alot on the driver..

the factory recommended tyre pressures for my GV is 26psi throughout and that is with 225/60R16's. the B2500 has a similar weight and larger, wider tyres.. so running higher pressures is not necessary..

the science is wider / larger tyres provide more lift, so a lower operating pressure can be used.. similar to how tractors run pressures as low as 5psi in those huge tyres..

[3stagevtec]

the max pressure for those tires according to tirerack is 50 psi

i really hope you not running 50psi in those.. that will be a safety hazard as the high pressure will significantly reduce your tyres contact patch on the road!

only when heavily loaded, you will want to run high pressures as bleedingfreak suggested.. 44psi will be a good starting point in that case..

I forgot to mention, we running the Roadstone ATII 31x10.5 tyres on the stock 15"s..

Upgrading yuh mean...

[badart]

^ yea well if i could get those tires it will definitely be an upgrade lol, from the reviews it handles good in the wet tht was my major concern, smooth ride and not as noisy as its predecessors, also it wears very fast would only last about 50,000 km

[brianr20v]

lovin those tires.....................looks sweet.

I'm running 32 all round, and the wear is even all around. Ride is also as good as it will get with torsions up front and usually nothing in the tray.

If I go down to 25 you can feel a difference, a negative difference when cornering and there is a 'flatness' to the ride.

[3stagevtec]

I wonder if that difference is due to the tyres?
