Tyres for Pajeo

I have a wee Pajero. Yesterday I managed to punch a hole in one of the tyres..........Poooze

My Delimea.
Currently it wears BF Goodrich 32 x 11.5 x R15, now these are bloody expensive and I need to replace 2 rears to keep things even. As a set they have done 75,000ks

If I replace them with Bridgstones 674s or similar ( we are running 697s on wifes truck) it looks like I can get 4 for the price of 3 at the moment. Which will be slightly more than buying 2 of the originals

Given its not a daily driver, but the "dog kennel" truck it does not warrent gold plated tyres but it does spend most of its time at the mo on riverbed tracks or riverbeds

Anyone using the 674s??

Any other ideas

What you talking about Mikkee! I'm in feet and inches?:wtfsmilie:

New tyres are a bloody dilemma, due for a new set on the outback...

I know but that would make the tyres worth more than the truck they are on!!!

If the bloody hole was not so big I would be just getting it fixed, I'm hoping it can be but its a biggish hole

Maybe cuase they were Yankee tyres??
The originals were brought by my brother when he had the truck, they were Rolled across LA cause no Taxi would take him and then rolled thru NZ customs 1 at a time over 4 trips.

I'm going for the 674 I think. I don't do many km in the Hilux, but they're all off-road. They perish before wearing out. Also looking at Goodride.
Tyre shop tried to sell me another set of Coopers to put on it. I wouldn't have to buy tyres for another20 yrs

Kuhmo. I love em. And a good price

@mikee, depending where the hole is you may be able to get it Vulcanised.
There s a local tyre shop that will do vulcanising repairs.
You'll have to agree to it not being a road worthy repair but I have had a few 4wd tyres with sidewall damage repaired there and never had a problem.
Otherwise my vote would be either goodrides for budget tyres, and Maxxis 762 or 764 for a decent tyre, without spending huge dollars on the premium brands BFGoodrich Pirelli, Cooper etc.

@mikee I've got these on my Surf & it 's a bit of a dog kennel too. Only used for hunting or taking the hound to the river. No probs & have done only about 20000kms so far with minimal wear. Not sure what price they are in the tyre shops as I deal with the importer.

Bring the wagon up here and we can swap my spare set off the challenger onto it if you want to. Maxxis 764 (?)

Thanks for the kind offer mate but you know me, I prefer to be totally self sufficient.

I'm running FREE PASSER CT404 MT at the moment from TyreShopOnline: The Online Tyre Shop for Quality Affordable Tyres. Free delivery when buying 4 or more tyres, but they haven't got them listed at the moment. Really impressed with them so far on and off road.

These look identical but a different brand.

32" well I'll be ......!

There's a RAV getting around on one of the farms I visit wearing these. Talking to the fella and he says they're awesome in the mud, go hard and deep. I spose he was still talking about the tyres.......

goodride are a overlooked and well priced tyre, Ive sold plenty and they appear to be wearing well, those tyres you have are different compound to the same tyre sold new in nz which is why you have got such great mileage out of them

Bugger I had almost decided just to replace 2 given their performance/ milage

@mikee I have had a set of maxxis 764 bighorn tyres on my Colorado are they are now buggered after 42,000 km on hard central otago gravel roads and a bit of tarmac also. For the price of them I am quite happy with the wear/km. I like them because they are slightly aggressive for the farm. But show good wear on gravel

Hankook Dynapro MTs. I have them on my wagon and are wearing well. I was recommended them by a mate that owns a tyre shop. He sells them to a lot of the forestry guys that do hard fast kms on gravel.

I have a few of these blow out the sidewall as a result of being run at low pressure while 4WDing.
Good tyre for off road traction though.

^^^^ not really the tyres fault tho

yes and no I guess. All the splits are in the exact same place in the tread. Indicates a weak/stress point to me.
Still a good all round tyre.

Hankook Dynapro MT's on my HiLux for 45 000 km and I think they'll go another 5 000 at least. Excellent offroad on dirt, broken rock and gravel terrain. Relatively quiet on tarseal.
Probably gonna buy them again.

Forgot to say. The friend who recommend these is a Firestone/Bridgestone dealer so had no agenda to do so. Good price for the 15" too.

Used to use a Suzuki Jimmy with them on a farm I visited a lot, damn thing could go anywhere. Left my Isuzu mu with maxis buckshot on in the dust, not road legal though

He got a warrant with them on. Tread depth was fine, the only problem the garage could see was the speed rating of them

Thanks for the replies,
Went with the BFGs again in the end. Just easier. Tried Beurepairs but it was turning into a big hassle, Got a lecture on causing issue with Transfer case fitting new tyres with worn ones and should be buying 4 ya da ya da ya. Sorted out by Peter Ross tyres in the end and cheaper than Beurepairs too
