Recomendations for 4x4 tyres

[DVSTT]

Can anyone recommend a shop that sells kumho apt 235/70/r16 tires? Or anything close to them that you can recommend. It's for a vitara.

[tourniquet]

for kumho you can check Mileage Mack or Laughlin
you should be able to get like these:
http://www.tirerack.com/tires/tires.jsp ... e+SAT+KL61
usually Laughlin is a bit cheaper.

At MM, you should get these too:

Thanks bro. I'll give them a call on Monday. I know stock it came with Bridgestone duelers 225 so I'll also consider those depending on price.

I never cared for the duelers that came with the vehicle; they're fine in the dry, but can be a bit dicey in the rain. If you still want to look at bridgestone though, you can check M. Ramrattan in Marabella.

funny thing, there's a chinese replica to that tyre, sold by dean's called Bolex. i had a set on the L2....bought them new from him....was a great tyre i must say.

they never let me down off road....and yuh know the L2 was always off road...

in that test was also the standard tyre that came with the prev. model ranger and b2500...the mich. LTX A/T.....were also rated very highly.

purchase of a full set really comes down to bugdet....cause tyres eh cheap...

how is the traction in sticky mud?

I replaced my tires this morning a few months earlier because of Sale
KUMHO KL 51 Road Venture 275/60/17

Laughlin Le Gannes- POS had sale on them for $1000 each .....$4000 set of four (33/14 manufacture date) (ansamcal discount card used)

I got 61,000kms on them easily. last set bought from Mileage Mack- South 2 years ago.


I did check out Quick Service But the $6600 for 3 and get one free was a little expensive for not much difference in ride feel and quality.

Consumer Report on All Season tire attached

[Jimbo]

Wow mitch, thx for all the great info. Any reason you went for all season instead of A/T? Great deal though!

[mitch1980]

I live south and work North i am on the highway 90% of the time
A/T less treadware and a little more noise
thus less mileage

BTW the tires i replaced which had 61,000km could have been sold to a foreign used dealer as they had some life on them.

[PariaMan]

Went with the goodyear adventure with Kevlar.

Ranked number 3 in all terrain on tirerack.

Best tire I ever drove on. Wet or Dry. Also treadwear of 640

265/65/17

Have some land in the country . Have to go about a mile down hill on dirt road to reach. Girl friend in South and live north.

Serves me well in the bush, on the highway, and in winding country roads. Pushed them hard in the counrty roads when travelling in the night. No give at all around corners.

Was worth every cent.

[Jimbo]

Thx PariaMan, I in same situation as you lol. Occassional dirt trails,gf living south but I in North so plenty highway too. My regular all season tires ok now that everywhere dry, but when things start to get greasy, the A/T may give me the extra bite I need. Only issue is I not ready to change just yet :/

[PariaMan]

Hope is not the same woman .lol
