All Terrain Tyres

[Chunkymunky]

Cheers Guys' date=' a little food for thought, been looking at the BFG AT, don't mind spending the money but my only reservation is my truck is on 215/65/16 and BFG only make them in 215/70/16, not too sure how much it would cock-up the speedo having bigger diameter tyres..!!![/quote']

 

Put it this way if you are doing 35 actual would be 36.

 

Have a look at insa ranger. Same tread as bfg and strong walls.

Are the Insa tyres remoulds?

[Chunkymunky]

Yes they are.

Jesus, yes they are the same tread, just dont have the nice white writing on the sides! 50/60% of the price though

I found that they wore out quickly and were not that good off road. I wouldn't get them again.

We run BFG A/T all round on our Ford Rangers and fins they only last for about 10-15,000 miles. They are used for towing a fair bit which may have something to do with it but even so it isnt brilliant. Looking at the remould route (Insa Turbo Ranger or Traction Tracks) to save money but not necessarily look for the cheapest. The I/T Rangers are BFG A/T remould but about 1/4 the price. The Traction tracks are an A/T M/T hybrid. You have the quietness of the A/T with the agressiveness of the M/T. They are about 80 quid a tyre depending on size but they last just as well as the big brands.

Tyres are, IMO, about compromise. On road, off road, motorway, urban, towing, loaded, unloaded. There are so many factors that effect wear and performance.

How many miles one gets from a set should not be a deciding factor though it will be in the mix. Tyres are about traction and this means ability to stop as well as keeping going.

A hard compound trye will last longer and be less efficient at gripping the road when braking, cornering and accelerating. Softer tyres grip nicely, tread notwithstanding, help you stop and wear out.

I reckon 20-30k from a tyre is about average with a good tyre. This is, however, just my experience and I've only got good road tyres on my Shogun. I don't do serious off roading with it, though it'll go alot of places and pull chippers and trucks out of the doo-doo.

Currently on 'enduro at' not to bad for wear and tear, ok off road. Not a experienced off roader so knowledge of varying performances from different manufacturers is not my forte.

 

At 75 quid a tyre I didn't complain!!!

I've had At grabbers on my terrano for the last 2 years and I have to say they are superb , i do quite a lot of off roading and I've never got stuck once but I put that down to driving a proper 4x4 ..
