General information on roadstore tyres please

[bushytas]

Well winter is here and I need new tyre but I don’t want to pay big money. I have been looking at roadstore RO- MT tyres. My question is has anyone else used them and how many kms did you get and how did you find them on and off road.

O by the way i can buy them for $270 each

It really depends how much mud you are going to see mate? the tread pattern looks pretty Tight and will probably bog up a bit fast to clear efficiently but they will let you have a little fun though i am sure.

Also on that Add it looks like the biggest size is a 31/10.5/15 or a 265 in a 16 and i'd probably be looking a little larger than that.

In terms of kms???? you will probably find you get what you pay for? if you can only afford these at $270 a tyre and understand that you may only get 40,000kms out of them before you buy again well thats ok.... Or pay $370 a tyre for BFG KM2s and get 90,000kms out of them?

I’m only really looking for an all terrain this was the cheapest I could find. As you said the tread is pretty tight so I would class it as an AT not a MT. Also I’ve just lost my job so I’m trying to keep the spending down.
I would like the BFG’s but money just won’t go that far I would also like cooper st MAX but again to much money.
I’m looking at the cheap options mate till I find a job and at the moment the way Tasmania is I think I’m going to be waiting a long time
The only thing im worried about at the moment is keeping my family safe on the road :)

Woops forgot to add I only need 265/75/16 mate standard size I will buy another set of rims for offorad later on :)

I’m in Hobart eastern shore mate.
Not really sure what to get, but I do need something that’s good wearing but also able to handle a bit of mud as I do a little bit of shooting at night and you never know what you will run into in the dark
