What winter tyres are best for a Navara NP300?

[woodworm]

Steve, I have grabber at's on my np300 and yes it didn't handle great in the wet/ice/snow. Have now thrown about 150kg of firewood in the back and it's a different truck and handles really well. Ok you might not want a load of firewood in there (i dont have a canopy on mine) but you can use something else.

Steve, if you're ever up in the north west come and take mine for a spin with the BFG ATs - they definitely aren't as bad as you are experiencing.

What pressure you running Steve? With a load in or not?

Just off to get some discoverer at3s fitted to the mazda. Around £350 for 4 corners fitted.

 

Ill take it for a drive and see how they go.

I've got General AT's on a Nissan X-Trail.... I did notice a difference in road grip compared with the standard road tyres that were on it before.

 

In the dry there's not a huge difference and if it's wet I just drive a little bit slower than normal, but not really that much slower... just a few mph slower.

 

Towing a loaded trailer in the wet has been fine.

Have you tried dropping the tyre pressures to see if that makes a difference?

 

Cheers, steve

 So the difference between the old road tyres I had and the discoverer at3s is night and day.

 

Been driving all day today in wet roads and its grippy as hell.

 

No weight in the back and I've been flinging it into corners. I can still get it to kick out if I try but overall a big difference.

New shoes on the Ranger today BFG ATs, slightly more vibration on the motorway but on the roundabouts etc. there were no break outs or Dukes of Hazard type power slides.

Sorry to hear that Mick.

When are you swapping them out?

I kept hitting lampposts and ending up in ditches when I believed my Hillman Hunter was the General Lee.
