Yep I agree. I'll likely get around 90,000km from my Hankooks by the time I change them before winter. I'll be going with them again.

Hey all. Am new to AULRO (I am on the Facebook group though). Just wondering what Tyre pressure you put your hankook dynapro ATs front and rear. Recently acquired a D4 2012 3L (used to have a D2 before). Frustrating the lack of options on the D4 19s but got to make do. I have read a lot about GOE doing an 18” for it but not what GOE stands for haha but would be interested in finding out, also read that it is very expensive though ....
We do the intermittent off-roading maybe once every 4 or so months give or take on mostly dirt, mud and rocks. Nothing too extravagant though as it gets us to work to pay for it! How are the hankooks on those surfaces from people’s experiences or is there a better AT for this? I looked at the duratrac but the life on those from reading forums and reviews is pretty poor.
Thanks in advance all!
Welcome to the D3/4 forum brittdolby.
I don't have the Hancooks, but I run my 19" on road set of tyres at 36psi front and 40psi rear. I'll drop this if off roading to suit, but you'll know all about that. My 18" Compomotives run at a little less (34/38) but I'm running Kuhmo MT51s and take it easy on road. Note that I have a winch, bullbar, roof rack with spare wheel on top, long range tank and carry tools and recovery gear.
GOE was an importer and distributor (and maybe even the original designer) of the Compomotive 18" rims made especially for the D4 to fit over the front brake calipers. Even Landrover's own 18" wheels won't do this.
I'm not sure what has happened to Gordon, but I hear that he's no longer in business but others will know more.
But the good news is that apparently Stuckey Tyres in Melbourne are now the distributors. An alternative wheel is made by TuffAnt. I have no personal experience of them but others on here are very happy with them.
I just generally run placard pressures in my Hankooks. 32-34 in the fronts, 42-44 in the rears from memory. Mine have been faultless for bitumen, gravel, rocks, sand etc and I have just replaced mine with another set last month (after 90,000km).Quote:

As mentioned above he may have had a hand in designing them. It is my understanding that you can order them direct from Compomotive in the UK and that they are now available through another dealer here - there was a thread a while back with that info.Quote:

Thanks for all the responses everyone! Tis only my First post and this forum has been more useful than any research I’ve done so far.
Might put a couple more psi in the front and rear than. Found a darn screw in the left rear and was a slow leak but father in law plugged it for me!
Seems as though the hankooks are a good Tyre though. Might stick with these and look at the 18s in the future when these are worn out.
Shame to hear about Gordon’s but thank you for the updated info and links. a drive experience like that would be amazing and something to learn from. Am definitely going to look into partaking in one of those!
Thank you.
The Maxxis 980 is an LT rated tyre available in the 19" factory size that you may want to look at. Lots of good reports and probably perfect for the usage you describe. I suggest doing some research on the subject of GOE ......Quote:
