I generally hate new tyres, too much block squirm and general vagueness for this little black duck, but these things have impressed.
Only about 3,000km atm but steer precisely on the black top, no tramlining, (much better than the Pirelli Verde's they replaced) thegrip under braking and accelerating is excellent, not too harsh a ride in XL construction and are great in dirt and gravel so far.
I think I paid around $230 f&b.
I live in one of the wettest parts of the country but no rain to speak of since they've been fitted.
I've scored my first puncture in a few years but a tek screw will go through anything.
I need to drop the tyre off for a patch through the week.
Rejoicing over some rain on my disco today here in Tamworth. Hasn't gotten clean since taking it out in the snow up in Nundle a month or so back!

They have performed faultlessly in all circumstances so far. While they have come down in price from $398 to $348 (Darwin price) over the past couple of years (KO2 still $469) I am considering less expensive but reliable options.Quote:

I play in the Flinders Ranges and on Gibber quite often. No I’ll effects so far!
I was also a D697 user (2 sets) and very happy with them - still a great tyre.
I went with the AT3W to see how they go after glowing reports. Doubt I’ll switch back.
The XL rated AT3W is incredibly solid construction.
Nothing
I took it for a drive, got where i was going, did what i needed to do and drove home again.
Should i be worried?
😜
Not at all. That’s the pleasure of being a D4 owner..Quote:

I picked up 5 x 2nd hand Maxxis 980’s (255 55 19lt) from a forumite. I found out that with the seat down you can fit 3 tyres from drivers seat to tailgate. Very impressive amount of storage.
I’d expect that being a more open pattern and a heavier carcass.Quote:
