Defender tyres and other questions?

[markieg31]

you cant get (or are fasing out) the old genral grabber at2 anymore. they have changed the tread pattern.

 

as said before the bfg's last.

Tyres- Bfg, fit and forget.

Chassis- personally I'm not a big fan of painting the chassis with anything other then waxoyl. Paint can bubble up, trap water etc. I slap waxoyl allover mine and short of filling the chassis with engine oil that's probably the best you can do for it.

I got 60000 out of the last set of Kumho's, they still had a bit of tread left too.

 

Don't buy remoulds! total waste of money, some will only do 10000 miles, the ride is shockingly hard and they crack up with age. Buy right and you will save£££ in the long run. BFG, Kumho or generals, michelin etc.

why not support a local tyre supplier? ive found that little independent shops (local to me at least) are often cheaper than the big online retailers.

 

Im currently running nexen roadian mt and they seem very good, very little wear over the last 20k miles, and reasonable road manners. not alot more than re-moulds

I have Kumho's on the back, and have only lasted three years. On the front BFG mud terrians that are 6 years old, and have been just replaced with more mud terrains. The Kumhos give better grip off road, but don't last as long.

My local indepentant supplied and fitted 2 mud terrians for £200
