Tires as delivered on new 130 dual cabs good?

[pc3]

They look to be very good for general off road and the work commute. Just wondering how these tires will go for south west Queensland outback camping etc.

They'd be better than the Grabbers supplied with 110's, which I have. Mind you, these have done 30000k's of outback trips including all over SW Qld and Madigan Line.

I have 2 sets of tyres, with one set exclusively for trips. My "road" tyres (also Grabbers) have done almost 90000 k's.

They are a great tyre - just do a google search - very popular throughout Europe and Africa etc. Just dont break one - they cost just over $400 each in Australia at my last enquiry :o

Yes there standard..... or option on the 110 HCPU, 110 Hard Top, and 110 Chassie Cab.

400 squids, i need another one too...

[gusthedog]

Cost is all relative though - I hear many people are getting over 100,000 k's from a set.

Hi there

I havent heard of many whom are getting those sorts of KM......we have found the harsh SA summer road heat damaging them.

My views.....but the 130 is now a pleasure to drive with new tyres which dont cost $400 each.

We have destroyed 8 XZL's in under 60,000 kms...mind you we have travelled the Plenty H/way, Gibb River road, Nathan River, Tanami Track and recently the Darling River Run....never had a flat tyre but they don't handle the weight when loaded very well

We now are running Desert Duelers which are a lot cheaper and easy to get hold of when remotely travelling;)


Mrs hh:angel:


PS aren't you considering an outback trip soon??...or am I thinking of someone else:)

Whoops, I stand corrected. 100 k may have been an exageration... .[bigwhistle]

I've gone the Desert Dueller option again. They seem to be good enough for what I want. What is concerning though is the ability to find 750R16s, I wonder what my next set will be?

I have the old mid nineties 5 1/2 inch rims and that makes even biting the bullet and changing to 235/85 (six of them) a difficult option.

I reckon in 4 years when I need my next set, concepts like "road noise" and "onroad in the wet" etc will be irrelevant, I'll be getting whatever fits.
