Thread: Mud Tyres 18"

Hi Rich,

Any feedback on how the Atturo's go on sand?

With the wheel well mods do you drive them on normal height on road, or do you run rods/LLMAS with some lift (i.e. normal mode but suspension actually in offroad height)?

I'm agonizing between the Atturo's and Cooper ST-maxx, so any advice would help!

There's a definite price argument for the Atturo's.

Cheers,
Mark

They go great on sand, not an issue.

Well - height wise I have to drop down to Access height as well as use -20 on LLAMS to get in my garage with my roof rack on.
Most of the time I forget to switch it back to LLAMS off and I still have no problems driving around at that height!
I only sometimes get a slight rub when going over a big speed bump a bit quick at that -20.

Cooper ST-Max - what a rip off in price!

I'd actually recommend Summit / Kanati Mud Hogs though myself see this thread for even more choices:

Shop around, price will be a big factor in Perth.

Thanks for the prompt reply Rich.
The mud hogs didn't have as much feedback available when I considered them a year ago. They look like exactly what I want.
I think buying the tyres over east and shipping them to Perth is the go. Unfortunately, Perth has some supply challenges in addition to getting about 50 cents on the Aussie dollar on the cost of everything.

Thanks for the great post, something to save for before my Cape York trip in '17 !!

Well Atturo MT's sold.
Replaced with Hankook MT (RT03) 275/65 R18

Did quite a bit of searching for reviews of tyres and found that this tyre was recommended by many as the best tyre they ever had.
Time will tell how good they are.
Got to say they are quiet on the road compared to any other MT I'd had before incl BFG's.
