Thread: NEED NEW ALL TERRAIN TYRES

Friends all swear by the maxis tyres as they all seem to get around 100k out of them.i tried a set 265/70 / 16 on a colarado this year un warrantable and lasted 45k (lots of gravel and lots of heavy towing)I could have rotated and got a little more but they were done.Now using a set of mickey thompsons ,shop has guaranteed 130k so we will see.

I’ve got Cooper AT’s.
They are wearing well.
Mostly I’m pleased with them, but they do slip in the wet a bit.

Shop has guaranteed 130k's? Which shop is it

poor bastard he will regret that, kl78's will piss all over the coopers.

I was looking at Cooper ST Maxx not AT3. Looks like the BFG may win the argument !

One requirement with the replacement for the Safari was I had to be able to fit 15" rims. Can put on new rims and tyres for probably less than you'll pay just for tyres.

perfect for one is not perfect for the other, but for a average budget tyre mostly used on the road but needed to grip up off road when needed the Kumho KL78 would be one of the top tyres, thats based on what tyres i have had, i wouldnt hesitate to buy them again.

Are they p3 all terrain?

70/30 tyre i was told.will check what type it is later

I got the at3 coopers 246/70/16's 4000km ago and I really rate them I drive mainly on narly gravel/ rock base and they have shown hardly any wear .I took it easy for the first couple hundred km on the tarseal until they got bedded in and they are as good as the Goodyear silent armours I had on which only lasted 20km from new. The at3 is also good on our slippery Ingham Brite on farm and are good on wet grass as well. The road noise is slightly more than the silent armours but they are slightly more aggressive so not a biggie. The tread depth is huge . I definitely rate them.
