Thread: AT Tyre recommendations

I'm running some Goodride SL369 AT on my Terrano.
Gets used fair bit on farm tracks. Been good so far. To be honest, I've taken it the same places I did when I had MT's (Goodride SL366) on. The AT's are so much nicer on road.
Goodride's are at the cheaper end of the tyre market.

Coopers are at the top end. But they do last a long time. Had customers getting 80K+
They have a couple of AT's. S/T MAXX a 50/50 and the AT3 (XLT or the LT) a 70/30.
The S/T MAXX is the more aggressive AT tyre and is very good. We put a lot onto customers vehicles.

All depends on your budget.
Get the best you can afford, as well as a wheel alignment from someone that knows what they're doing (most tyre shops are what we call "toe and go" places and have no idea what they're doing).
Regular wheel rotations front to rear and keep the correct pressures up, and any tyre will last a long time

The Maxx is what I have on mine and they're bloody dangerous, I actually don't think I have ever been scared of a vehicles capabilities in the rain before but they sure have me worried

Nah cam these things are like driving on ice when it's wet, I can make the vehicle step out and understeer very easily it's nothing to do with the vehicle itself

Sounds like the pressures to high in them for the weight or load of the vehicle. They have stiff sidewalls so can be happily run at lower pressures. Not a tyre I would put 40psi in with an empty ute.

+1 for goodride good price quiet OK in wet so far.

I have been using MAXXIS AT for 12 mths now on a 2007 Pajero swb. Have gone well up the Rangitata Valley off road, around Coleridge and a few more river beds getting from A to B. Appear to drive okay towing a trailer/ATV in the wet on tarseal. I can't complain.

Cheers guys few options to research. Was hoping to keep it under $350 a corner if possible which pretty much rules out th Coopers, which might not be a bad thing by the sounds of it!

In Oz used to run BFG ATs but switched to Maxxis AT-980 Bravos in my opinion a better AT tyre on the bitumen and in the wet also alot cheaper great wearing as well.

I run nangkangs at on mine get really good kms out of them also had federals as well a few of our customers use the goodrides and get a good run out of them

+ 1 They are excellent in wet & snow, and quiet & smooth on road, haven't pushed them hard in mud yet.
