Thread: Which All Terrain tires for a D4?

Thanks guys,i asked a tyre guy about this the other day and he had no idea

Mine have no S on them,so is the lower rating for the single use,higher for duals or the other way around?

Just for the record the D697 is now available in 2 different LT versions for 18".

LT265-60/18 is barely over stock 114S rated

LT285-60/18 which is 1" larger at 31.5" and is 116S rated

These D697s have a very strong tread area and strongest sidewall of all alternate brands in these sizes.

116 will be the single config rating

1 - Pirelli Scorpion ATR - $345
2 - Pirelli Scorpion Zero - $375
3 - Goodyear Eagle EfficientGrip SUV - $305
4 - Bridgestone Dueler H/T D684 - $345
5 - Michelin Latitude Tour HP - $339
6 - Continental ContiCross Contact™ UHP - $339

We have no6 on at the moment and I wouldn't call them all terrain - great on the bitumen but would be like .... on a bull in the mud. Went okay in the sand.

The higher rating is for single use - Yoko ATS LT245/70-17 has wording re max loads and pressures for when fitted as singles or duals. I assume this is because when used as duals there are extra stresses imposed by the presence of the other tyre, eg no load equalisation over bumps.

After a lot of searching,this explains the reason for two load ratings pretty well.

Just after some opinions on the scorpion zero offroad. 99% of my driving in on road, however I do like to got out 2/3 times a year, to high country or otways mostly. As such I'm interested more in a passenger type tyre, but don't want to be holding up the convoy by needing to get snatched every 5 minutes on the odd occasion I do head offroad.

I've decided on pirelli but not sure whether to go the ATR or zero. Anyone have any experience on the zero offroad (thinking snow/ruts and rocks, no mud)??

A D4 on ATRs did Mt Airley with us a couple of weeks ago, went fine, did everything we did on KM2s, and these were 19s not 18s.
