Isuzu NKR All terrains

[owain]

Hi Guys looking for a bit of advice regarding all terrain tires for my Isuzu NKR.

 

Got a couple of tip sites that are on grass and have been stuck one too many times. Current tires are rubbish and I'm in need of a new set, but every where I've tried refuse to give me all terrains as they are apparently illegal to run on a commercial vehicle due to lack of load rating!!

 

Thing is I know plenty of guys that run bf goodriches on a 130 and they don't have these problems and carry just as much as me!

 

Any advice on tires you guys use or all terrains with a load rating on cabstars, dyna's etc???

 

Wouldn't want winter tires as I'm looking for something that lasts a little longer.

 

Thanks Owain

bit strange as most pickups can take a ton in back and i have bf goodrich at2 fitted. so why can you not fit to one of these unless it something to do with the way it is set up and off roads could make it not to clever on the road.

Nope apparently its just the lack of load rating that can invalidate my insurance. looked it up though and the tires i want are on the index at 115. So in theory if I filled up more than that I'd be overloaded anyway????

Can't understand why they won't fit them. I've had loads fitted over the years to pick ups and no one ever quibbled.

as long as the new tyres have the same or higher load rating as the originals then it is perfectly legal just putting some on movano at the moment for the same reason

I think its something to do with the ply rating

Just to help a little bit on this. The yank rubber like BFG AT has a different method of rating than the english equivalent.

 

Something like a 31x10.5x 15 bfg at has a load index rating of 109 = to 1030kg per tyre. 4 ton for a 4x4 is in most cases more than adequate.

 

You just need to make sure that you have the right load rating, its not uncommon for a tyre shop to quote the needs according to the E rating . If you are having problems order the tyres and just get them to fit them under your instructions, job done. The BFG all terrain ticks most boxes for general use and gives a good level of grip in the wet on tarmac, we have used them for years and rate them.
