You are talking about one of the slipperiest (word?) places in Victoria. I ride there alot and I have seen people just fall off their bikes in a straight line. I rode that road once and 4 people in cars and 4wds had slipped off the bank.Quote:

Just wondering what price are the hankook 19" and where do you get them
My original tyres on my new d4 are unlikely to get more than 30,000 as scuffing out on sides after 25,000
So will be looking early next year if not before

Earlier this week I paid $280 a tyre fitted and balanced.

Sounds goodQuote:

Many thanks

I was quoted $350.00 each for five in Perth is this too much?

Even mud tyres once the thread is filled are no better than slicks in some conditions.
I know the thread is a bit old but I just put on a set of Hankook Dynapro ATM 265 60R18. Photos below for those interested.

LI 114 so whilst not labelled LT, could still be another option for a tougher 18" tyre.
Hankook Dynapro ATM 255/55R19 (RF10)
O.K. I am 10,000kms in on these tyres so far. I rotated (5 way) and inspected them this morning and have included my highly scientific, (not) results. From new these tyres had a tread depth of 10mm (nominal) and obviously that is my start point for my wear and and life comments.
On taking each tyre off and taking a depth of tread measurement over four or five locations on each tyre I found that each tyre had a remaining tread depth of:
RR @ 9mm
RF @ 8.7mm
LR @ 9mm
LF @ 8.5mm
An average wear of 1.2mm over the four tyres for 10,000km
If I could achieve even wear over the next XX,XXXkm then theoretically I could get up to 60,000km on a set of these tyres before reaching the 2mm minimum I set for myself. So far I have never achieved the theoretical maximums no matter the tyre make. In my opinion tyres seem to wear at an exponential rate with the wear accelerating as the tyre gets closer to the end of its life.
I also reckon the 8.5mm on the left front vs the 8.7mm on the right front is the 'round about' affect! :o
As for the tyre performance they certainly inspire confidence on the bitumen in both the wet and dry so I am really quite pleased thus far. To date I have not taken them on any serious back roads, tracks or straight bush. Due mainly to the fact that I seem to be at work most waking hours consequently bush time is pretty hard to come by @#$@*!:censored:
Anyhow there you have it my first 10k on these tyres.
Hi
Just fitted these to my D4
Can I ask what tyre pressures you used
Onroad towing
Offroad towing
When I got them put on the pressure was 37-38 all round which felt good but then new tyres always do
I am on the road towing my van and raised the rear to 42 in the rear and left the front 38 but noticed the pressures in the back where going up and put in another 2 psi to be 44
Have not gone offroad yet but plan to
The car placard states 42psi for loaded car do good starting
Max tyre is 50psi
These are all cold values
