Advice for tyres
Wanted five new tyres for the weekend, got some options, what do people recommend?
BFG AT $273
Bridgestone 694 $269
Coopers AT $244
Kumho AT $229
Goodyear wrangler ATR $ 229
Nexen AT $155
Maxis $154
Size 215/75/15
I was originaly going for the BFG but I'm starting to think something like the Maxis might be a more sensible option. I know you get what you pay for but for the price difference I can have a three spares. The syncro won't be doing many km's but will do a resonalbe amount of off-roading Any thoughts.
Craig. I put a set of Maxxis 751 215/75r15 on my syncro camper about 18 months ago and couldn't be happier. They have covered 38000km, lots a dirt including a Birdsville/innaminka run. Also very happy with their sand performance during a week on Moreton island. Lots of soft sand and never looked like getting bogged. I'd estimate 15-20,000km life left. I paid $145 each from Bob jane. Another point to consider is if you damage a partly worn tyre beyond repair it will be very difficult to match the other three. Throwing away 3 bfg's would hurt.Of course if you have a decoupler that problem is solved. Good luck. Bill.
