So I was just thinking.... I have Firestone Firehawk ATX on the Pajero right... Isn't that the same line of tyre that had all the recall issues in the states about 9 years ago? If I remember it was due to high speed instability leading to ford explorers flipping..

Anyway, something I should look into... I mean, I won't likely change my rubber just because its still relatively new but I wonder if these Venezuelan manufactured firestones were also at risk...
If so, good work junior sammy for selling them to me..

[venum]

the Firestone's that were at the center of the controversy were the Firestone Wilderness AT

not the Firestone Firehawk

the Firestone that we get here are manufactured in Venezuela

several tyre men have told me that they have gotten complaints that the Firestone on the market now are acting like they were bent at high speed

I don't trust them for daily long term use, mainly because they cheap and seem to have poor design (despite looking sexxy)

CD4, you from Cocoyea\St. Clement's

but i will tell you something - for a cheap tire - Hurcules terra trac i am impressed by where i went with this tires - even the icacos run - i was in 2 wd for most of the way - only time i went into wd was throu the seaweeds and that too i came back out on 2wd.

[CD4Accord]

So far the firestone been holding up for me.. It does make a fair amount of noise at speed but speed is a relative term.. Fastest that vehicle will go is probably 150kmph

As I said, i'll stick with the tyre until I have any major worries..
Check this link tho and note my size is listed...

31X10.50R15LT
Not very comforting to know....

Concerning where I from... I don't really give that out on the net but let it suffice that I from south (not cocoyea tho)..

The Terra Trac A/T is a good tyre, the other Terra Trac with the big lugs, I'm not sure about

The Terra Trac A/T will give good traction in various terrain due to the tread pattern, so don't be surprised at that, be surprised at the cost

Actually, Stacey David mounted the Hercules Terra Trac A/T on a project truck in one of his episodes of Gearz,

I was surprised when I saw it. Was the first time I saw the A/T too, as there were none locally, only the big lugs one

My experience with cheap tyres for car and pickup is that they are usually crappy, you get what you pay for, there are some that are exceptions though (Dunlop) which is why I buy the brand names

CD4, no scene, there is a white Pajero on some Firestone ATX not too far from by me, thought that it may have been you, that we may have been neighbours, guess not.

I agree with you on not disclosing your details online

the Firestones on sale locally aren't very well rated in the US and other countries that have motor vehicle imstitutions that pay attention to safety, which I believe is why they are marketed in countries that don't pay attention to safety by having regulatory bodies (like Trinidad, Venezuela, the other Caribbean islands, Guyana etc)

There are some Firestone that are made in venezuela that are sold locally that are not found online - Firehawk AT

[civic minded]

[PTME]

WELL mines is just close to a year but i know it ain;t gonna last no 4 yrs like my disc pad but its worth the ride.

[badart]

michelin is the way to go

[Val]

Where (other than Federal) sells the Hercules Terra Trac AT?

[MadCrix]

on the sando warf next to gas station. he sells out of a container. cheapest price for new tires like that val

What do guys think about the Hankook Dynapro M/Ts??????? Thinking of putting them on my D22 Frontier

[lighthammer]

Any type of M/T's will give you traction in off-road situations, but you'll lose traction and handling on pavement/highway, esp. wet conditions.

You should balance off the pro's and con's of using M/T's esp as your main tyre.

How about some aggressive A/T's, like BF Goodrich A/T's?

[3stagevtec]

I wouldn't use MTs for daily driving. Other than lower on road wet / dry traction, they are also noisy and poor on fuel economy..

Keeping them on a spare set of rims is a better idea, unless you have a dedicated off road rig..

[droppa]

i had Bridgestone Dueler M/Ts on the Jimny when i sold it, they were used on a daily basis, x2 on what 3stage said, noisy and they ride poorly and handle shiddy on the wet, M/ts/LSD/wet roads doh mix at all, the Jimny used to slide round corners, but being a really short vehicle, it was not a problem.....if ur driving style is over 120kmph, then get H/Ts, if u having alot


the Terra Tracs are good for their price.....
i second the BFG A/T, real nice tire for ah lil more cheddar.....

[lighthammer]

If you gonna do a good amount of off-roading (every weekend or every other weekend) - BF Goodrich A/T's are great.


For mostly highway driving and occassional off-roading, something like Pirelli Scorpion ATR's would be good. Mostly highway biased but decent off-road capability.
