Thread: Procomp tyres - Any good?

Hey Julian, they look nice, would be a tight fit maybe?
Didn't notice if they're a light truck or passenger rating?
Might be irrelevant if they're THAT cheap
It's bloody hard to find a decent 18" tyre for much under 400! Painful when you want 5 of 'em!

Not without some modifications!
LLAMS or Rods is not enough.

Have a read of this article: 33 x 12.5 Nitto Mud Grapplers

Thanks Rich well thats a bummer I noticed that Gordon mentions that max diameter is 31.6" without mods.

Totally agree Rohan don't know how I'll explain to SWMBO the cost of the refit!

Cheers

Have heard very little about these but all reports out of US have been favourable, I'm slowly shortening my list of possibilities down

The ProComp AT is a very good tyre - I was partially sponsored by them for a season and found them excellent.

You can fit 275/65R18 with a few mods - you will need to run constantly at off-road height, but they will always rub a little when under compression - particularly at the back. They are also a very big tyre, so speed readings, odometer, fuel consumption, braking and tracking are affected. They are also about 2cm over the max legal size you can fit to a D4, if you worry about such things.

Cheers,

Gordon

Sorry to thread jack, but I notice in this video his ARB has two d shackle recovery points on the front. I dont think mine has any kind of provision for these. Do you think this is different laws for different markets or a custom job?

Thanks Gordon, but after investigation they no longer are making the AT's so I don't want to end up possibly replacing with a different tyre, I'm looking at the Falkens now hopefully Boof can do me a deal

You beauty, just got clearance from "the leader of the opposition" (swmbo), to go and get the Bridgestone D697! Nice. She was helping me fit my goe rods this morning and I spent a lot of time pointing out how crappy the h/t tyres were
After close inspection the rears are only 105 load rated! Blimey, how did that get through RWC?
Thanks must go to Boof for his time/advice over the phone, much appreciated, but it's off to Bridgestone I go
