Thread: Eldorado tyres

www.tyres4u.com.au

The above is a link to their distributer in Australia

I'm told that they come out of the same factory as coopers. seem to be good, but i've not heard a lot of first hand reports.

Good rule of thumb is that if they are cheap, dont bother but I havnt heard of anyone who has used them.

Ive just measured my Goodyear MT/Rs and after 19 000 kays theyve worn 3mm so I should get around 80 000 kms before needing to change them at $280 a pop thats $70 a year (4 years) not bad I say the MT/Rs are 14mm deep new and they not an overly hard compound
If you shop around you should get a good deal on a good set of rubber
And yes the El Dorados are made in the same factory as Coopers
You get what you pay for

I run the ZR4 all terrains on my raod rims and the TrailcutterM/T's on my offroad rims.
I ran the ZR4 tyres on a Kimberley trip in June with no punctures. The M/Ts have been pretty impressive AFIAC.
Quiet on the road with reasonable grip in greasy yellow mud around where I do most of my playing.
I ran them in the snow in July and was most impressed.

Thanks for the info Hymie. How do they seem to be wearing, or haven't you done enough km's on them yet to be able to tell?

I have a set of Eldorado ZTR sports.They have just done 16000Ks on good roads and rough tracks.No troubles at all.
they are starting to wear a bit too much for rough work at 50000Ks but I would expect another10-15000Ks before replacement.

Can't rightly say how many K's I've had out of them as I swap tyres pretty frequently depending on conditions.
I can tell you that the ZR4 tyres are showing a fair bit of wear from chipping, not unusual given some of the sharp rocks around here. I've had them on for 3 years so I'd hazzard a guess and say they've done 60000K given the distance I drive regularly.
