What tyres

Post by Dot »

Since we got our Suzi GV we have clocked up 23,000 ks on new tyres (Hankook optimo) and we need to replace them so needing your suggestions for which brand as I don't think that mileage is good enough..

Dot, Maryanne has a V6 GV and runs Dunlop SP Sport tyres on 19" rims. She gets about 60,000 kms wear. Geat handling on good roads and in the wet, but really not meant for off road. About $1200 for a set fitted around here.

Thanks guys shall be doing some asking the local tyre people tomorrow and then the ones at Mt Barker on Wed when we both go to the dentist :) The mileages you boys gave is quite a bit different from what we got. We don't go off road but I go off the rails from time to time..:)

If you can fit them, toyo light truck give excellent milage. May be a tougher ride, but you can get close to 100000klms out of therm easy and rarely puncture.
