...i myself want to switch to BFGs in december....

Ever so often they have sale with 20 - 25% off. It's well advertised in the media. Wait and get them on sale.

[wagon r]

the sale and the money doh always work in tandem.....i'll have to take it when i could get it.

...but thanks.

Used the BFG's already. real good traction and excellent threadwear

[Stuckindmud]

i can vouch for the bfg`s - i doign abt 60 000 kms on mine. They can be changed now but still have enough life to last me the dry season easy.
If yall hear abt a sale send me a PM !!

Fella, it's a tire named 'triangle'....TRIANGLE :!:

That should be the first and foremost concern right there. I think the Triangle Tire Company is playing some kinda long running joke on people

[venum]

the BFG's worked out to $4800.00 last time I checked on sale

at Jack's in Chaguanas for $950 each 265-70-16, I wasnt. too sure about
them at first but I recently found some info in the internet. Have a look
and it might be an option.

Terry - the civic man buy a ranger dude

[SNIPER 3000]

Ranger, ok .....poor ranger

[venum]

I believe that Quick Service has a sale on now

20% discount when you buy 4 tyres

Heard on the radio yesterday

@ $5200.00 for the set of 4, You should be paying $4160.00

Damn god price for BFG considering the prices if some other brands

[civic minded]

i am getting a set of 265/70/15 's terra trac Hercules tires for the ranger for 2500dollars - I know terra trac isnt all that good - just hoping i get at least 2 years from them.

[Cooper]

I did a quick search on tirerack.com for Off-Road Maximum Traction Tires, these are the results. (Ah have to start putting aside money for a set of wheels for the diesel runs )

follow the links on this page for more details:

Never heard of this brand....















This will look good on a certain Navara

[wagon r]

Dick Cepek does make some of the best off road tyres....they are widely used in the US....

[Cooper]

Well ah learn something today

[MadCrix]

civic, i runnign the hercules 31 10.5 15 all terrain tire

good traction in dray, horrible in wet
fantastic in mud

750 per tire.

gonna pick up a pair on saturday in sando

my front have no thread on the inside... apparently i eh see it cutting lol

[civic minded]

^^cool - didn't like the part where there is no sort of traction when wet- van espically are very cumbersome on wet roads- espcially since the rainy season coming up

[venum]

lug pattern tyres do NOT give good traction on wet tarmac

neither will M/T

that is why most ppl go A/T - all round qualities (not teh best of each, but a good mix)

I liking them Firestone's

[wagon r]

^ depending on the surface....even A/Ts will not grip the road when wet.....trust me, i was driftin in La Romain last thurs.


....and i mean driftin..!

[civic minded]

Yeah boi what I do - once rain start to fall - I cut my speed down to quarter of what I was doing -just to improve traction

pickups have it hard with that light tray at back, my pops B2500 was pretty tail happy on wet roads with the old Michelins it came with..

for comparison, i can drive really fast in the wet with my SUV - Vitara riding on ATs with no issues at all..

i'm looking to try the BFG MTs when my Terra Trac's run out.. but i am quite pleased with the off road ability of these Hercules ATs.. they dig and release mud quite well..

i went through the grade 3 morne diablo trail with them last year.. had to park up the Vitara and ride along yes..

after seeing that trail, everything else looks like childs play..
