Thread: New Tyres for my TD5

im getting the wrangler AT/SA, i have a couple of friends that have used them and read a few reviews on them and its all good

I just put a set of Wrangler Silenarmour on my car and they seem pretty good.

XPC's are arguably best tyres ever made, they are my absolute favourites.

For similar, you probably have to look at the continental range of tyres but wear will be nothing like them, you will probably get 50K km's.

Pirelli scorpion is similar too or Coopers ATR's which I am currently running.
They are harsher, better off road but too chip a little due to them being a harder compound. Keeping an eye on tyre pressure is the key to them not chipping and when off the bitumen to lower pressure is a must.

Anyhow, the coopers you will easily get 80k km's, the pirelli which are great you may just get that from what I have read.

There are heaps of tyre threads here, have a search.

Pirelli Scorpion ATRs, very quiet on bitumen, and great on wet bitumen. Amazing.

Have had the Goodyear wrangler AT/SA 245/70 16 on my Disco and they have done the Gibb Rv Rd, Gunbarrell hwy and Canning stock Route plus 12mths of road driving and haven't had a puncture Yet..

They do struggle in the mud, but a look at the tread pattern will tell you they aren't really suited to mud..They handled corrigations well and were great in sand, although the real soft stuff on the Canning we were at 14psi.

I think they are a good tyre, even tho mine are showing the wear and tear of what I have put them thru.Mainly due to having a fully loaded car and tyre pressure's low for the corrigations.
I certainly think there are alot worse tyre's than these..


That's my 2c worth..

Cheers Ean

Just Fitted a set of Yokohama Geolanders ats , they are brilliant , quite on the bitumen , great on the dirt would highly recommend them

A near new set sold recently & I believe a set of virtually unused tyres is about to come up soon.

Hi All
I have Pirrelli Scorpions ATRs had the ATs before that but cannot buy them now I find them great but you will not get the wear you get out of them as you have with the Michelins.
