Of course I'm looking at a more AT tyres, overall I'm driving 50% on gravel and 50% on very average bitumen!
Afte a quick few calls to tyre dealers in Adelaide I'm now quite confused:someone is telling me that I cannot have AT tyres because my vehicle is a "performance" vehicle ... other are suggesting quite aggressive tyres like the Maxis AT980 ... I had those tyres in one of my previous vehicle (Nissan Patrol).
Other ate suggesting Kumho AT51 witch looks a bit more reasonable.
My question is: Which tire are you running and what suggestion can you give me?

Thanks! ;-)

Hiya KT-
pirelli scorpion atr, surprisingly good offroad for such a passive tread
Coopers Zeon- even better and you get more mileage {well atleast I did}

Of course "IF" you can fit 18" wheels you'll have alot more options.
Whomever told you "you can't have AT's" on a disco4 you should steer well clear of as they obviously full of it!!!!

Yep you can have whatever tyres you like pretty much. Maxxis 980's aren't aggressive by any means, they'd be good. Maybe have a look at Nitto terra grapplers if they have them in that size, the AT51's look pretty good too, I've had kumho's before and they're pretty good.

I’m getting the AT980’s fitted on Wed morning, only reason going those is they’re the only Light Truck tyre available in 19”.
I don’t think they’re particularly aggressive as they have the same basic pattern as BFG All Terrains.

For KI. Hankook RF10s.

My Hankooks RF10s in 19" have just passed 62,000km and probably have another 10,000-15,000km of wear left in them. Very happy with them.

As others have said, the Hankooks are good I had them for some time before moving to Good year Duratracs that I think are better - but are also more expensive. both make good options for the 255/55 19
