Yep--I read your post.
Read it well also.
Buy better tyres!!!!!!!
Off road tyres are exactly that and should not be used on the road for the exact reason you just asked us.
Big fat tyres should be taken off the market unless used for beach driving.
I also read your tyres are 50-60% worn, for MTR's thats probably beyond their effective wear.
I sell or give my tyres away after they reach 40-50% and only use ATR's at the most aggressive especially on the bitumen as that is when I hit the skids I want my tyres to retard the vehicle so my insurance will cover me should there be a crash.
In the wet is when 80% of 15km/h or less accidents happen.
tyres play a major role.
My suggestion is buy road worthy good quality tyres to suit the medium you are driving on.
Or, drive a hugely lifted Hi-lux with the biggest tyres available, look like a hero and fall into the category my tiler just got himself into.
After his uncontrollable skid, he ended up in a shop window and his tools in the back of the ute smashed through his window and cracked his skull, he lost sight in one eye due to internal bleeding, uncontrollable shaking in his arms now and unable to work.
insurance not paying for his truck, hospital or any of his personnel expenses.
tyres not suitable for the application they were used in.
Its in court now and even the tyre fitter is in trouble and could potentially change the way off-road tyres are sold.
I can keep you posted.
case still pending, been going 19 months now and he is unable to work as tiler.
get some new tyres that are not too hard and intended for use on the road.
My advise since you asked.
