Guys,

Does anyone know if the brand of tyres dick cepek are any good. They are on a patrol I just bought and they are pretty noisy so i was wondering if i should keep them on or get rid of them??

Cheers Trav

Are they the FCII model? If they are then they are a reasonable quality all terrain tyre. The more aggresive the tread pattern the noiseier they will be on the road.
Wheel alignment is important as improper alignment can cause premature and uneven tyre wear which will make the tyres more noisey than usual.

Yeah they are the fcII and they look brand spanking, I might go and get a wheel alignment see if that quietens then down.

Cheers

I've been running FC IIs (285X75X16, 33") for 4 years, around 50.000 ks. They have seen mostly gravel and desert sand, with the occasional rocky bits.

The only issues I have had are, one tyre split around the bead, about 1/3 of the way around the tyre, one (a back tyre) lost a couple of lugs and was showing cracks at the base of a number of other lugs and its mate was also showing cracks at the base of a number of lugs. To their credit the local distributor agreed to a 50% credit on replacement tyres for each "damaged" tyre.

Update: had the replacement tyres fitted this week. The old tyres also had a number of small cracks running down the centre of the tread. Looked a bit like an old perished tyre. Given that the tyres had never been run flat, or below 18psi on sand, they looked like they had!

Mine were a little noisey untill i did the wheel alignment they are 3 weeks old now and perform off road better than expected , a track i usually struggle on at whoota is usually a winch out job. but first time through this weekend i just went over it no problem,
