Thread: Tyres

I've done 13,000km on the stock Wrangler muddies. Pretty quite for a mud tyre though not super aggressive. Perform well in gravel, mud and sand. I Lost one to a twig (I mean a tiny twig) punchering the tyre 15mm outside of the tread so not repairable (with a guarantee). Lucky to find a replacement as not available in OZ (so my comments area a bit irrelevant!).
I have previously done around 100,000km on the old BFG ATs and couldn't fault them. I suggest trying to source the KO2s on the east cost and freighting them over ($$$) or maybe looking at the BFG MT if available. I also have coopers on a work ute that aren't the best performers and haven't worn well (I'm sure someone will have the exact opposite experience to this!).

I've got BFG AT KO2 235/85R16 on my 90. They are a great tyre so far (only about 6000kms on them). Road noise isn't bad, and the limited offroad done to date they've been great.

I bought them through tyresales.com.au and they were delivered to a local fitment centre. Not sure if there are any fitment centres in WA, but worth a look.

Toyo M55 236/85/r16's, on the camper as well.
A great all round tyre and absolutely bulletproof but a little noisy once they wear.
Would I buy them again?
YES!

And I will.

Cheers,
Paul.

I've got the Michelin LTX AT2 in 235/85R16 on the 110.

The last set did 100,000km, and were still legal. At least 20,000km of that was on unmade surfaces, covering the Tanami, Pilbara, Gibb River Rd, Cape York, and Gulf.

They are quiet, with good wet weather traction.

I'm now on my 2nd set.

I have got 40,000 km so far out of the Michelins I got with my 110. I would say they are about half way down on the usable tred and I have had no punctures.

Had a reasonable amount of off road but mainly down south so no not as hard as what you may be expecting.

As I also drive a lot on gravel my main gripe initially was how much they threw stones out with some loud noises. But you seem to get used to it.

On the Tarmac they are very quiet.

So far I would replace them with the same. But let's see how the next year of so goes

235/85/16 Cooper Discoverer at3 - done just over 20,000km on them now. Nice and quiet, decent off road (I don't do anything too extreme) and excellent wear so far. I'm getting more k's per tank compared to my previous mud terrains aswell so that's a bonus.

For the trip you're about to do, Bridgestone D661 235/85R16. You'll find that everyone up north is running these tyres. They are excellent and available anywhere up there.

I will definitely be running 235/85/16. Jury is still out and I have an hour left to make the call.

Thanks everyone for input and not turning it into a this is better than that forum
