Thread: What LT tyres should I fit to my 2013 D4?

They have quite an open pattern for an AT that is performing well in sloppy mud. Tempe Tyres in Sydney import them and currently have stock.

I am on my second set of Maxxis 980 255/55R19 tyres and cannot fault them for toughness and grip, but they are a little noisy on tarmac. How do the General Grabber AT3s perform for noise?

I noticed initially that I could hear the AT3s whereas I couldn't hear the previous Pirelli AT+ even though they were well worn, but I don't hear the AT3s now.
The AT3s perform much better in the mud on my driveway and muddy lane than the AT+ ever did, although they are slightly narrower with a square edge that bites through to harder ground.

I'm about 80% through my maxxis 980s and noticed a bit of understeer in the wet at roundabouts. My very first set of Cooper zeons did the same until it got dangerous with basically no grip in the wet. I reckon the rubber hardens after ~4years or so, and when the tread blocks wear down, they don't flex as they should, losing grip much to easily.

Looking at BT AT3 or pirelli ATs next.

I’ve had Maxxis 980’s found them noisey and I really just didn’t like them. Currently I’m running Maxxis 771 in LT285 60 18 (D4). Not a bad tire but I’m nearly ready for new tires and I’m thinking of going to Toyo next time. I’ve heard lots of good things about them. Have had Falken Wildpesks on the D2. Loved them, might consider them as an alternative

I think suitable pressures and driving to the conditions is more important than what factory they came from

Same here,slight drone at around 70Km/hr in D4,but apart from that,had them on D4,D2's,now the LC,in over 22yrs,not one issue or failure.
One slow leak,a coach screw through the tread,didnt have it repaired as the tyre was worn out anyway,done well over 80K Km.

Nitto Ridge Grapplers are fantastic. Really impressed with them in LT 18 inch. Duratracs are excellent. I hear the Wildpeak are a great tyre also. Cheers

I’ve got pirelli AT plus, and coming from hankooks find them noisy. Seriously contemplating going to RT tyres next change, and having a set of 18s to play in the dirt with
