Ok, I am not a hardcore 4x4'r I dont go looking for big bog holes or mountains to climb.
however... I have started planing a trip of a lifetime ... The Simpson as we are going the the NT the long way.
Basically , Adelaide to Birdsville then The Simpson, then up to Darwin.
What I want to know is some opinions of tire choice, to do such a trip and I would like to know if any of the members here have done it and what they used. As my rig ( patrol+ camper) all runs the same size I currently carry 3 x spares even when touring ( yes i know its overkill ) and if you do the math that means 9 tires, currently i run roadie suv on the patrol ( yes i know shite, but you know why ) and the camper has some of my old bridgestone dulers on it.
before i goto a tire joint and make the owner very happy with a 9 tire sale, i would like to know what you guys think i should be equipping.
I dont give to rats as to brands and how good they are, i need to get through with a reliable set, that will perform $$$ mean nothing
I am looking for advice from people who have done ( been there ) this trip
I have done Birdsville many times, its a highway now :( time to see the guts of this wide brown land
