Thread: 19" Maxxis AT Tyres

Black is good... on silver too. These are standard 19" rims, painted, not powder coated as it will last longer (apparently)

Yes Yes.... new wheel caps are on the way to complete the look!

Just as I thought. I couldn't find any in Queensland as well, which begs the question - 'What happens if you need a replacement tyre?'

Also look at General Grabber AT's, available from Bob Jane

Have done about 6k on them now, mostly blacktop and apart from being more noisey than the OEM they replaced, seem to my untrained mind to perform admirably. Little to no sign of significance wear, although have not put a gauge over them yet. Happy with wet weather performance. Managed to test out in Sydney's wet a while back without issue. In fact put the boot in on a corner which is notoriously slippery in the wet and all hung on well.

On the small amount of unsealed and off road i have done i have no issue, but then i am also no expert and probably have not challenged these tyres as others would.

Ok so -
• Goodyear Duratracs
• Cooper LTZ Zeons

Which one and why?

They both have similar ratings sidewall XL
Is one more robust than the other or are they much the like?

I like the look of the Duratracs but I don't think they're readily available, I can get them but what if I need another tyre in the future at short notice.

Coopers seem to keep stock on the LTZ's they're obviously more popular??????

Actually from what I hear it's the other way round - lots of cooper's because nobody will touch them

I agree. And the Duratrac is the better tyre for your purposes. Especially a bit of damp farm on a hill.

Met a bloke at Mitchell Falls running the duratrac's which he said had done lots of k's along the Gibb and around the Kimberley and they looked in good shape. He even had them on his camper. Older D4 with OE rims so based on that experience and regardless of the relatively low load rating they would certainly appear to be capable of doing the job in dry off road conditions and believe me what we have driven has been hard on tyres

Guys need some thorough info on the two -
Duratracs and Cooper LTZ Zeons

• So they both are not LT construction
• they are both load rated 111
• speed ratings LTZ are H(210klm) & Duratracs S(180klm)
• and they both have a XL sidewall
• LTZ $300p/tyre Duratracs $400+p/tyre

So am I missing something?
From that info the Duratracs don't seem to be any better (assuming not factual) are the Duratracs offering something over the LTZ that has not come to my knowledge?

Is there anyone running LTZ Zeons on their D4 and used them Offroad for some feedback.

Is one more puncture resistant than the other? Facts not assumptions please.

Is the Duratracs more overall plies and maybe thicker carcass, which is why it has a lower speed rating????????
