Tyre recommendations

[shaun100]

Hi All,

I have a GU 4.8 Patrol.

Currently running 285x75x16 Baja Claws.

These are too aggressive for what I do and Im getting tired of driving on the road with them.

Can someone please recommend a tyre that has a reasonably aggressive tread, low noise and a good price?

Im in Perth so it would help if you can recommend somewhere here.

Thanks

Mention you are an Aussie 4WD member.

for that kind of money delivered to Perth! you could not really go past the BFGs whether it be the KM2s or the ATs.

IF they dont interest you then i'd be looking at the Micky Thompson 4 or 5 rib depending on what you wanted out of the tyre.

Good pricing just picked up some Bighorns 285/70/17 for $295

[threedogs]

Mickey Ts 4 rib would suit your needs

Shaun,

I have MTZ's as I picked them up really cheap. Great tyre, but noisier than the Claw's

[shaun100]

MTZ's noisier than claws...WOW... LOL

Must admit, considering how agressive the claws are, they are pretty quiet.

[happygu]

I was totally surprised by how quiet the Claw's were in comparison to the tread shape.

I had Claw's before the MTZ's, but grabbed the MTZ's when the Claws were past it, as I picked up all 5 for $800 ( 33 12.5r 17 ), and the four had only done less than 15,000 Klms, with the spare Brand New....

Great buy at the time, but now I am stuck with them, and as my job has changed and I am not driving around all day in sales anymore, I would prefer to go back to the Claws.

I am about to buy a new set, ( that aren't worn into patterns from another vehicle ) and we will see how quiet a new set is.....

Cooper St's should fit the bill, 70,000 kays, good off road,

Extraordinary purchase around then, yet now I am screwed over thanks to them and as my employment has altered and I am not driving around throughout the day in deals anymore I might want to backpedal to the circle.
