Thread: NEED NEW ALL TERRAIN TYRES

I got a good deal for some cooper at3 's so I will give them a go ,shit they have a good guarantee.Thanks for everyones help.

"Kumho 8><--- But their muddies have always been good. I used to use their tyres when competing in 4wd trials. "

I have their M/Ts and at around $1000 at the time they have lasted well and I cant tell them from the "better" tyres I had on ie no worse. My personal experience is buy lowest priced reasonable quality tyres I can and dont drive like a maniac. If in competition start by looking at what others who are winning are using and keep a set just for that.

Hey guys, next time you're looking for tyres, hit up TyreShopOnline - About Us.

Steve and Tracey run this NZ business, and have suppliers nationwide. They offer free postage for a full set of tyres, and arrange fitting at your local for ~$20 a corner. Got two new lots of tyres last month, they arrived and were fitted within 3 days of ordering them. The local Beaurepaires place (I priced some up through them for comparison---they were about $50 a tyre more expensive) had to order my size in anyway so was looking at a 2-3 day turnaround that way too!

I've bought about 6-7 sets of tyres thru Steve and Tracey and can't recommend them enough. Steve knows his tyres and will recommend what he thinks is best for your application.

At the moment I am running 33 inch Hercules DT's (mentioned by Cambo) on my Landcruiser, by Steve's recommendation. Hercules are made by Coopers, and offer similar design to Coopers more expensive tyres.

I was running MT's, but Steve reckoned for my use the DT's would last longer, and in the real dodgy/slippery stuff I normally throw on chains anyway. So far his recommendations have proven correct, the DT's are a very chunky all terrain tyre, are awesome on road and very reassuring off road. The pair I replaced last month due to blowing them out on a set of spiked harrows, were only a 3rd worn and had done nearly 30,000kms.

In my experience, if you are doing big kms on rough roads, and a lot of off road work you get very little benefit buying top shelf 4x4 tyres. Once they're 50% worn, they're stuffed. At ~40% worn I flick them on and replace them with new ones. I usually aim my replacements to be fitted coming into winter, that way I get full benefit of their grip. Stuff a couple of high end tyres and there's a thousand bucks down the gurgler.

50,000kms is the most I've got out of a set of tyres, with them still being useful, and they were Hercules MT's. I sold them for $120 each and that subsidised my new set.

I looked at the Hercules DT they are $ 317 plus fitting , Im getting the cooper AT3 tomorrow for $330 fitted &balanced so not to much in it.

Fairly different tyres. You'll be happy with the AT3 if you spend most of your time on road.

Geeez take a f'n chill pill, you asked for our opinion. You stated you wanted an AT for gravel roads and winding seal, you'll be happy with them.

And, yes I have, my latest Landcruiser came with a set on it. Pretty average in mud and clay.

Jeues lol

Quite a few of us from the other forum use these guys.

Have a close look at the Sivlerstones and you'll see that they are using the old BFG AT mold, I had them and they did 60,000 km.

I then got the Hercules DT, they were still going strong at 40,0000 km when I sold the truck.

The guys great to deal with and will send them anywhere in he country.

I've also had BGF ATs and they are great too.

I can't believe people buy tyres that do only 20,000km, no offence.

I m down to Cooper ST Maxx or BFG TAs have to decide prior to Monday morning
Got 30 000 kms out of the tyres Toyota used. (Remuera taxi type )
Three won't pass warrant
Time for some 33s now with some ARB kit in it
I think there was a wank factor thread here some place ha ha

Thoughts on just these two would be appreciated !

I was looking at these too, but then I got the price and given they are going on my wifes daily driver (which I may occasionally borrow)

It would be a case of serious WANK FACTOR.

Especially when I can get 4 AT or MT from Brigestone for price of 3 till end of the month so the ST Maxx would be almost double the price, are they worth it. Given the truck has done 8000km since she got it 2 years ago, neither are likly to be worn out any time soon

Arrrrrhhh!, not in my size. Not part of the deal!(of course). Bugger. There's $19 per tyre difference between the two so not too much difference they both hurt !, ha ha
