Just wondering what tyres others are running on the stock alloy 17" rims that come with the Y61s?
I don't want to go any larger than 285/70x17 and either AT or MT. I'm a bit shocked at the prices after coming from a 16" wheeled vehicle.
Thanks

Well 24 hours is a short time in the 4WD upgrade world.
Ordered 5 x 275/70x17 Cooper ST Maxxs. I've had these before I reckon, for ne, that are just about the best I can find.
Cooper reckon I should get 90,000 ks out of them. Funny thing, they say I'd only get 80,000 out of the 285/70x17s, seems odd to me.
The most useful thing I've ever done with tyres is let them down. It's never mattered if I had new muddies, or crappy ATs, as soon as I deflate them they turn into more useful tyres.
I ran a set of Mongrels (aggressive mud tyres) down at Swan Lake (beach dunes). As soon as I deflated them to about 15 psi they were great, you'd never think they'd do any good on sand beind so aggressive. I ran a set of new Hercules Mud Tyres, a pretty agressive mud pattern and brand new, I think they have 18 - 20mm tread depth.
Got bogged in deep snow. Lockers in both front and back, no effect. Deflated tyres to about 12-15 psi, drove out without lockers.
Mud tyres look great, but I reckon they are over rated. For me it's all about deflation.
Anyway, get the new tyres fitted on Thursday.
Glad we could help. LOL
Haha. Geez, now I'm even talking to myself online. I gotta make some friends. ;-)Quote:
