$169 a tyre sounds very cheap , considering the size. AT 265 65 17 s . Has anyone given them a go ? https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...fb60623bf0.jpg

Sounds too good to be true
@madmaori?
Have heard reasonably good reviews of the Goodride. Checked out tyreshoponline.co.nz?
We sell them. They're not top of the range but they are ok.
Workmate loves his goodride MTs
got them on wagons at work...being nextdoor to importer might have something to do with that.... they ok and seem to wear ok..not very stiff in sidewalls,we had set on station wagon and they went well and lasted the distance.
I got a set of the MT's Munsey, had them on my courier for a couple years and now on my hilux, still got decent tread, go well off road, typical MT handling on road (understeer if pushed hard into corners in the wet) but nothing that tyres worth twice as much wouldn't do.
Priced Coopers $460 vs $165 . Are they 3 times better ?
@Pengy is running coopers
I'd dive into a set Munsey. I did that a couple of years ago with my MT's, in a much less known brand, and very impressed with them. There is a more road oriented tyre in the same brand for $129 at tyreshoponline, but I wouldn't look past that deal you found.Quote:

Interesting my Pajero had done 70K on its current set before I punctured one with a rock, Replaced 2 to keep them balanced and front 2 have now done another 10K and still OK but not great. Before I got it the truck was owned (still is) by my brother ( hes a great brother to loan me his truck indefinitely) and most of the driving on the original tyres was open road type driving between Ashburton and ChristchurchQuote:

Cooper Discovery S/T at $315 each fitted on the Triton. An A/T tyre that's abit more open, but same tread pattern as BFG T/A. You can hear a hum when on asphalt, but quiet enough on seal. They've done 30 km and without measuring the tread, I'd hazard a guess to say they'll get 80km easy enough. Good manners on road.
Going yo put some cheap MT's on Hilux as they'll perish before being worn out. It only does about 10km a yr. Looking at Goodrides, but the Maxxis was only $10 per corner dearer. Although they were looking at $215 each. I'll be doing more phoning around. I thought 31-10.5x15 was the most common size and cheap as chips, but apparently they're going out of vogue
How much tread depth do you have left after 80k? Once a mud tyre is half worn, the performance off-road is getting pretty average
Not much..ok for trailer. Don't really do any deep mud, but if I'm going across a paddock, I'm going to make it, either with right boot, or common sense. The Hilux does the wet muddy stuffQuote:

we sell the goodrides as well customers seem to get a good run out of them ive tried a few different brands on the Suzuki and get the best run out of nangkang ats
I looked at Goodrides for when my Kumho set wear out. (KL71 MT) problem is the Kumhos have not worn out yet and dont look to be about to start...then I got a spare set of Desert dueler AT for round town as well so it will have to wait. Oh the problem of two sets of wheels for your ride....
Thought about going that way but decided I couldn't be bothered swapping all the time, guaranteed I'll have the road tires on when I decide to go explore a little dirt track...Quote:

Whatever you do you cant go past a light truck construction (10ply) as that's where a lot of the mileage comes from and are a lot tougher to deflect a lot of the annoying punctures! Just don't go running high pressure as they can then handle like a walrus on the beach!!
hope this helps someone :thumbsup:
I was filling the tyres on my push bike on the way to work one day and waited for a guy to pump up the big droney mud tyres tyres on his sparkling clean 4wd (Prado or Pajero-I can remember which) A fairly new one too by the look of it. When he hung the hose up so I could use it it was set at 65 psi. I wound it down to 30 for my MTB and said Hi and commented something like " Are you sure you want 65 in there? Thats fairly high isn't it?" thinking maybe he had not noticed....He basically told me to "F__K off and mind my own business ewhat would a dumb cyclist know" I didn't pursue it any further but the big droney MTs that I have recommend much lower pressures and the ride is far more comfortable at around 30 psi.(drop it to around 15 to 20 when in the soft stuff...) All I could think was "bloody dick head doesn't have a clue- He can go F__K his $1000 set of tyres if he wants to...." And I suspect he probably did as they looked like they were runnung on about the centre 2 inches of tyre...Quote:

Hahahaha what a cock sucker , it would handle like a bag of dicks and smash the shit out of the crown of the tyre....old mate must have read the sidewall where it says a max of 65 odd psi and took that as gospel as to what he should be running , amazes me how many people do that and ALOT of them are blokes.
Bet he's also one of those fellas that only drives on the odd bit of gravel so he thinks he needs muds!
Bet you rode away having the last laugh :thumbsup:
well mine has muds cause it came with them it was either replace 2 muds with muds or buy 4 ATs. 2 muds was the cheaper option :DQuote:
