what u think foToyo Open Country Mud Terrain for a toyota hilux 2010 265/75/16

[lighthammer]

^^ great tyre offroad, but poor treadlife on highway/tarmac. Won't last very long, maybe 50,00km. Plus it's noisy as compared to an AT/ or HT... but if you go offroad a lot then they worth it.

[froggyrvr]

thanks but what about the BFGoodrich All Terrain
T/A KO,BFGoodrich Mud Terrain T/A KM and the Toyo Open Country AT Mud Terrain the three look like great tyres and have great reviews got this on offroaders.com. Have some roadstone roadian ht run like crap in wet do lil offroad sometimes need help on making a decision thanks.

[Paullct]

[froggyrvr]

[CD4Accord]

[Paullct]

I posted this in the Suzuki forum already, but I figured I'd get some good opinions in here as well. It's for a vitara btw.

ok guys, i'm getting ready to change tires soon, and hope someone can help guide me with my decision based on experience, and what's currently available on the market:)
What I have: the stock tires i have are bridgestone duellers 225/65R/17.
What I'd like: I think I'd like to go with a nice set of all terrains, and I'd like to try and maintain the stock dimensions as much as possible.
In the brief online research I've done, thus far, I'm really liking this:
Yokohama Geolandar A/T-S
http://www.tirerack.com/tires/tires.jsp ... mpare1=yes
anyone knows if this is available down here?

now 3stagevtec, already recommended the BFG AT, and based on what I'm seeing in here, it seems like it's an incredible tire, however, I do like exploring my options, so if there's anything else anyone can think of, please share

All-Terrain T/A KO at tirerack.com

^ yes I highly recommend that tyre for the price.

For $1145, the Kumho Roadventure AT KL78 are an excellent tyre.

Got over 70,000km on a set that we had on our frontier, lasted just about 3 years of highway driving.

have the Kumho Road Venture just about 1 year now

did ~ 24,000km on them and they appear to be down to about 50%

looks like I'll be changing them next year around this time

expecting to get another 24,000+km out of them, so they should give me 48,000km in total

traction is good in teh dry, buy not so great in teh wet as when they were new

Coming soon to a Ford ranger near you - Mickey Thompson Rims and Tires...hehehehehe

Saw a set of Dunlop Grandtrek AT3 this morning, looks good. Anyone has these or knows how they perform?

[droppa]

265 15s are $850
265 16s are $900
265 17s are $1000

Homeboy,
Where did u buy and what price did u pay?

I put on the Toyo Open Country 2 wks ago on the Sorento.

Havent gotten to try any "serious" off road stuff with it - (by serious i mean the side be run sorta stuff"-, but everything else seems to be top notch with these tires.
Minimal road noise when compared to the Khumo road ventures previously on the vehicle.
Mileage has improved a little.
Brakes and holds well on the wet roads, but for some reason, acceleration from a standstill is a bit of an issue, in that lots of tire spin if you take off moderately. Maybe given the torque-y vehicle that the '08 Sorento is, i dunno.
All in all , for a total bill at M/Mack of $5200, i think it is well worth the price so far.

[lighthammer]

^^ good tyres, great for offroad on grade 2-3 trails and pretty decent on road too.
Only issue is longevity, couple of folks used them on this forum and reported an average life span of about 50,000km with regular, daily use on highway.

[tourniquet]

Mr. Red Sleeper, what size tires went on the Sorento?

had those on the previous L200

they are really great tyres

great wet and dry handling

good self cleaning

one of the best tyres that I have ever used in both cars and pickup

good investment there Red



these are my Kumho Road Venture AT after 24,000km

like yuh try them out or talk to ppl who have them.

[droppa]

never had them personally, work navara has a set, if the brutal driver driving, it loses traction quite often, cause he floors it, and we grin....if the lame driver driving, it feels very safe on the road, wet or dry....

also a padna had a set and we dipped it in some mud, poor self cleaning, and poor traction in the mud......he said if he had known better he wud've bought something better....

[trinibajan34]

Hmm thought they would have been better, time to save up for bfg
