After there was some discussion regarding these tyres in the thread
Max tyre width on 17x7.5" rim?. I said that if I purchased them when I received my GOE 18" rims, then I would post up here.
The rims arrived on Tuesday and today I bought the tyres. The main driver was price ($190 each from Tempe Tyres - $950 for a set of 5, $650 less overall than I could get D697s). But I am also curious as to how they will go and whether they will meet their advertising hype. The fact that they are Australian designed also pressed a couple of buttons
. Their web site is here
Monsta Tyres | All Terrain and Mud Terrain Tyres.
First impressions - they look good, but that could be because I am so happy to have 18s with ATs. On balance they tyres look good, not too aggressive but like proper tyres.
Noise - just some freeway driving on the Sydney M5 and M7 on the way home - yes, noisier than the OEM Goodyears, but I expected that. Overall not noisy enough to matter.
Pics will follw when it stops raining long enough for me to get some (and also get 5 19" rims with tyres out of the car and stored away.
I was hoping to get out on Sunday to Newnes with the trip that Scouse has organised, but the weather may put a stopper to that.
Anyway I will continue to update as and when.
Cheers
Mike
PS. By the way 5 x 19" Land Rover rims with tyres will appear in the Markets shortly. 4 have done 20K km and the other has never touched the road. PM me if you know anyone who might be interested. Price is negotiable.
