Thread: Tyres Again...not sure what I want

Hello all,

I want to replace the stock tyres on my Mitsi Triton(2016). I want to stick to the same size.

I do 80/20 road/offroad

I haven't a clue what to get, but need something that does this:

- Grippy for off road, but not extreme (limit is braided rivers and wet mud tracks)
- Reasonably quiet on tar seal
- Good wearing (I do 25km p.a.)

On my last truck I had Cooper AT which seemed ok off road but they let go in the wet on tar seal. Wouldn't have them again. I probably need something a bit better than AT for the muddy tracks?

Thanks

You can see the current tyres in this pic. They have done 44k. and are hopeless off road.

The bfg a/t is pretty good, go well on road and perform well off road for what they are

I’ve had a good run out of Maxxis Bravo 980’s. I do 30,000km or more a year and was pleased enough with their performance (wear, noise, traction etc). Enough void ratio for basic farm track / paddock use etc, but not a mud tyre by any stretch of the imagination. Were about $1100 for a set of 4, factory 265/70/16 size.

If just changed from full muds on my prado to JoshC's recommended tyre.

It's a quite agreesive AT. Much more open pattern. Hercules Terra Trac deep tread. Heaps better on road and so far nearly as good as muds off road.

we have a triton, fitted yokohama geolanders. work well

I found these to be an excellent all round tyre. Did high kms on my last set, 60-70k. Bought them thru Steve at tyreshoponline.co.nz

Good advice thanks. I rang tyreshoponline and they don't do the Hercules any more.

So I need to tack down a Hercules agent.

Cheers

I'm currently on a set of Mickey Thompson Baja ATZ. They are called an All Terrain, but they are pretty aggressive. Done 28,000 on them so far, barely look used.
Pricey though. But if I run them 50K plus, will be happy. Have chewed out Coopers and BFG in my old ute in 30K.

Thar- If you do let me know, I'd like to see if they are suitable for me also.

I had the Yoko Geoloanders suggested for My Mitsi Outlander by The dealership in town... Around $1100-1200 depending on specials etc for a set.

Bugger, I may have got the last set. I'm sure they will get gutted as they also reckoned they were a great tyre.

I've got a query in with these guys - HERCULES Tyres | Brands | Autostance

I'll let you know if they have access still and what the deal is as I'm in a similar spot...
