Recomendations for 4x4 tyres

[Dunman]

Fellas, would BFG's 275/75R16's fit a stock Navara?

Hey fellarz looking for some good brand name replacement tyres for a vigo 09 model..the current tyre size is 265/65/17....so let me know what u all suggest..

[CD4Accord]

Catalan, take a brisk read through of the last few pages and see what people keep mentioning..

Then you do some quick calls and see..

Note that 17" good tyres hard to come by at a reasonable price though

I got some Maxiis Bravo in 275/65/17 HT they do not touch and is very good in both dry and wet but not much good off road

[civic minded]

i am looking for 17's as well - same size, i have a feeling i will have to buy a set of 15's - cover that with MT's and run the 17's on HT.

[catalan24]

^^sounding good, watz the price on one of those cuz I might need a set asap cuz its actually bro's van that needs them as yesterday nite he went in a little drain and could not get out cuz of those bald bridgestone's he still running, had to throw it in L4 to get out lol

[PariaMan]

Singhs auto Supplies in Penal brings in the BRAVO last price was 850.00 check phone book for number. SHOPBOY on the forum had roadstone when I was buying in 275/60/17 for 1000.00. I got mine from Jacks but he had brought it down for some one who did not want it again so that was a one off deal!

Fellas, would BFG's 275/75R16's fit a stock Navara?

Nope - would rub on the front fender under load.
275/70R16 might fit on the BFG's.

My BFG's are 265/70R16


Wanna buy my scorpions?

[lighthammer]

Another pickup running Pirelli Scorpion ATs (I wonder who?!) had alot more trouble in the soft stuff middle section. The TT provided enough traction to give you a running start before getting bogged down. The other truck with the Scorpions was having a hard time trying to get the van moving at all.

.

Hehehe.... those scorpions need a bit more sting!

I would say that the Destinations & Scorpions are similar in their off-roading ability, with the destinations ahead by a few more points.

Allyuh lucky the rain grade down the soft-sand for yuh ... I had to do it after the rangers and the two navara's went and dig it up


No worries though... let's see how a set of BFG's would handle it! (suspect that with the navara's weight... it'll just dig down deeper, hee hee).

What I would have really liked to see was how an all out MT would have handled that same hill at that point in time. Would have really highlighted the differences between the two.

Why droppa didn't try?

[3stagevtec]

He was rollin on 18"s... lol

[civic minded]

ok what hill alyah speak off? is that the trailblazers thing?

lol, nah bro. Got my heart set on the bfg's. Been saving for them since we did the timed attacks, lol.

Think I'll stay stock and just go 265/70/16.

Wait nah, LH you change the scorpions. You dumped them after one hill stick, whey.

BTW, where did u get yours and how much if you don't mind me asking.

I'm getting them for $1620 in Marabella.

[lighthammer]

I get mine for $1605 in wrightson road - last set!

and yes, I changed out the Pirelli Scorpions for a set of BFG All Terrain's in 265/70R16.
Was gonna get the BFG Mud Terrains in 255/70R16 - but I was concerned about safety esp. wet traction.





After some deliberation, I decided to get the BFG All Terrains. Had to weigh in several factors including our off-roading style, plus on-road performance in both wet & dry, as well as tread-life. As a good friend of mine put it - for our purposes (side B runs) it's better to get an aggressive all-terrain, than a dedicated mud-tyre for all-terrain style use.











Already tested on a muddy track and given the seal of approval!
So.... anyone interested in giving 4 scorpions a good, loving home?

PM me!

[Dunman]

LH, you eh easy!

[lighthammer]

^^ boy dunman - you know how we does roll!

I have to show you a real nice set of modifications I wanna do with the Navararararara - once the funds and time-factor are right .

[droppa]

those bfgs have some real depp thread boi........

i woulda buy the MTs and ah nex set ah rims tho eh....
seeing u already had the scorps for the daily useage...

[catalan24]

update on a set of 265/65/17 tyres for the vigo, I checked deans wheels yesterday they have a set of dunlop for $1400 for a set.......how good is this brand??

[lighthammer]

Which dunlop is it?

The newer Dunlop Grantrek AT3 is better than the older Grantrek At20.

Better tread and better grip in most conditions.

[catalan24]

I really can't say, I will check it out if is anything but thanks for the info.

[lighthammer]

did it look like this?



thats the newer grantrek at3.
the older version is what comes as stock on the navaraarararara.

[droppa]

those AT3 works pretty good for on road daily usage and moderate off-road now and then

[catalan24]

^^^na the treadwear did not look so aggressive on the one I saw...I guess its the old one they have..

[droppa]

we have like that on a navara on work here, the driver does not push it, but u can still feel them holding the road pretty well, ride and noise level is great with the AT3

[*Phoenix*]

What yall think about these..

Classic II



VS

Sidebiter

[lighthammer]

^ prefer 1st option for your hilux , fits the classic look of the older model.
