Thread: Tyres

What would be considered a good trade in for some about half worn BFG MTs, 31/10.5/R15? About 30000k on them, no major cuts/nicks etc

100 each if your lucky. The first half is the useful half for muddies

Yeah, that's the idea behind changing now..

Well here's a possible benchmark.

Scored a set of basically new Dunlop ATs on mint Ranger alloys for $651 on Tardme recently.

I normally get $75+ for a 3/4 worn set of mud tyres, never hard to sell them, but that's in a bit of an odd size 285/70/17.

Just replaced the rear tyres on the holden crewman after 18,000kms. Thoughts good or bad?

I got 105,000km from the Bridgestone tyres on my 4x2 Hiace van. The tread was barely half worn but the side walls perished. 18,000km seems very low but about what I'm getting on the AWD Hiace.

@Dundee depends on how often you got the arse end loose!

i cant get rid of my road tyres off the turck cant remember details but 16s with still plenty of tread for summer but swaped up to muds.

anyone got a set of 16 rims to fit a landcruiser floating around? (sorry for thread hijack)

No burnouts but a lot off gravel road trips whats your thoughts @madmaori?

its a holden you must be used to chucking money at it, but really 18k out of tyres I would be dissapointed.

Got 15,000 out of rears on a Navara STX, others I knew who were heavy footed got 10,000. Didn't have the same problem with the next set, but Nissan ducked and dived blaming local roads.

Talking to a logging contractor the other day, was using Goodride tyres on a hi-lux,had already done 40,000km and was impressed, no punctures and $180 each on T/M off a tyre co in Napier.
