can you count the letter "k" in:
we will be leaving for a 2-3 month tour of western queensland from the end of may and are looking for advice on suitable tyres.
reading 4wd magazines seems to indicate coopers are the most puncture resistant on stoney roads. has any boggers had experience with these tyres. we have an on-board compressor on our lc100, so we can reduce tyre pressures when necessary.
what pressure is recommended for corrugations? (we normally run 40psi on both the lc100 and bt) what is the noise level like, and what is the tradeoff in grip on wet bitumen with all terrain tread patterns.
tyres are a bit of personal preference! i have had cooper ats which gave great service up the cape and out west. currently i am running bf goodrich ats as they have a 3 ply sidewall.
the new cooper stt seem to be worth a look though.
we are running bf goodrich on our l/c td - a great all-rounder tyre for highway and off-road and they are not as noisy as the tread might suggest. i have now done 76,000km on the original set and expect to get just under 90,000 km out of them, running pressures at 32psi and 36psi front and rear. i am a bit fussy and get a wheel alignment and balance about every 15,000km.
could you let me know your bfg tyre size.
also have had a price of $249 each but feel this should be better. how did you go?
we have cooper s/t 285/75/16 on the bt which have perform great on the van but i feel are a little chunky for the l/c.
the 4x4 clubs have always chosen the bfg at or mud terrains as number one, most resistant to sidewall rock cutting with 1000 denier layers in the sidewalls. i have used them for 15 years. they are hard to beat and the at is relatively quiet.
our experience is that tyre choice is all about compromises. we only really ytavell corrugated or graded dirt rather than very rough rutted tracks (21foot 27t bt) and have been very pleased with the new cooper atr's. our sahara has 17"rims and we run 265/70r17's. without going outside to check i'm pretty certain the load factor is 120 and they are certainly a full lt construction. 4000k on dirt so far and they are looking good. equally importantly for us, they are dead quiet on the highway - no noiseier that the dunlop at22 fitted as oe.
thanks for the info boggers.
the bfg all terrains look the go.
does anyone know where you can get a good price in sydney?
oldperc stated above that he has had an offer of $249 for bfg 265/75/16 all terrains. where??
the best offer i have had so far in sydney is $272. any advice?
bob jane t marts, offer available to 20th april.
did you get my messages sent directly to you?
i ordered a set of coopers yesterday.
the bob jane t mart bloke in caboolture was a bit of a smart arse so i changed from bfg and went to the local coopers bloke on bribie island!!!
the coopers are black and made of rubber stuff just like the bfg's!!!!
