Recomendations for 4x4 tyres

[bleedingfreak]

LD&G has two sets of AT Kumhos last time I checked. In 17" sizes I mean. Both are 265/65R17s. Roadventures. Treadwear 460 or something so...

This is what is on the Hilux right now.

Our Kumho Roadventure M/Ts on the Mazda (work) are almost dead after less than a year of driving. We do alot of pavement to get to our destinations, then our extreme offroad use requires the M/Ts... Not an ideal situation but...

So whoever deciding to get M/Ts for daily driving use, make sure you have deep pockets... having an auxillary set of tyres for the occasional offroad use / fun. Is also a waste of money, because the tyres will rot very quickly once not in use.

But again, all of the above is negated by deep pockets...

My advice, get some ATs and a good winch

^ ^ ^ makes sense

My next choice of tyres would be some BFG A/T

There are some good Firestone AT & ATX for $700.00 which are some good cheap M/T

1/2 the price of those Maxxis

LH PM me your number we need to talk

So somebody thinking of a new purchase then
Well at the end of the day it is your choice but I will not be going back to the BFGs.
Also our vehicles and what we do with them is different so I guess that might also make a big difference.

I hope a run comes up soon so I can bless the tyres with some mud. Driving around on all the farm roads in Aranguez is getting boring.

BFG A/T 265/70/16 - 1908!!! at quickserv -Plus VAT. No discount for 4. I honestly think the guy was trying to rip me off seeing that he had a total of zero customers, and it was enough for me to leave immediately with that price.

Went to mileage mack, got the Toyo Open Country 265/70/16 for 990 + Vat a tyre. After redo alingment etc etc... 4600 was the bill.

Tyres are a million times better than the Bridgestone the van came with.. Didnt budge in the wet as yet. 265 is a little beefy for the ranger, but they fit.

I have the 4 A/T Duelers for sale if anyone wants..They have 10,000 k on them, good thread still.

^^ ahh another satisfied Toyo man...

Not too shabby, are the toyo open country's all-terrain tyres?

I think the widest A/T the ranger/BT-50 can take is 255/70R16 without rubbing.

Guys, presently i using 275/70/16 on my van, the only issue is that when turning the front touches inside the fender.....need to get some new sets and was thinking about using 275/70/16 in the rear and 265/70/16 in front.....anyone ever ran this on their van? i like the traction with the 275 thats why i want to use it on the rear and smaller in front to stop the touching when turning.

do you have a 4x4? running different sized tyres can destroy a 4x4 drive train.. in a 4x2, it's ok..

it is not really recommended to mix tyre sizes as it can bring out odd handling characteristics..

[homeboy]

^Thanks, yes it's a 4x4....will use 265/70/16 on all 4 then.

[lighthammer]

265/70R16 is the standard size tyre for most guys who upgrade.

Anything wider generally tends to rub on the internal fenders, unless you get spacers for your hubs. U can check dean's wheels for spacers, or even for a lift kit (de man offered me one time to fit on a lift kit, when I was asking around for tyres.) He custom makes his own spacers for hubs so you sure to get one that fits.

[Jeremy Mohd]

On the 2010 ranger, the toyo 265 does touch a little on the inside front only if you are braking fairly hard and turning a corner.

But it is a little worrying. Didnt know Dean's would have spacers, will check weekend.

265/70/16 an upgrade

that is stock on L200

[Jeremy Mohd]

Ranger 2010 stock is 245/70/16 on the 4X4 models.

If you get a less beefy HT tyre, the 265/70/16 should fit great.

[lighthammer]

245 or 255 is what comes stock these days....

[Rutless Tiida]

LH the Toyo Open Country AT are nice.

[lighthammer]
