Thread: Rubber for ranger?

Quiet, OK for grip, not that shite off road and quite good on gravel/rock back area roads in terms of longevity (this is where the Coopers for one fall down - they seem to get knifed and sliced to bits on gravel/rock roads and as we found out this is specifically excluded under their warranty).
@Philipo, is your Wildtrak the bi-turbo? Mate has a few Rangers and the bi-turbo eats boots like licorice compared to the 3.2L's. Dunno what it is as well, same drivers swapping between vehicles and same useage. He's not going to replace the bi-turbo with anything other than either a 3.2L or one of the new v6's as the bi-turbo is nowhere near the tow vehicle.

Looking at the millage some off you guys are getting out of these tires id have to stay our roads must be the worst in country in Gisborne.
Which when you travel out of Gisborne south or north after a 1 1/2 you start to notice road improvement
4 Different utes running the Factory AT22 not one of us can get 45km out them and 25km the worst set.
Still works out a cheap set of tires if you are getting them for $500 a set plus fitting
