Re: What tyres

Had a new set of Yokohama Geolander A/T put on the Suzi when we started towing it behind the Winnie, 3 years & 76,000 kays later when we sold both vehicles, they'd used about half of their tread.

Our Cruiser had a new set put on 2 years ago & have done just under 60,000 kays & most of that was with the van in tow. Reckon there is a similar amount to use, at least.

Not cheap but worth every cent.

Thanks guys, after seeing what mileages you got from your tyres I sent an email off to Hankook asking why I only got 23k so tomorrow we are off to the dentist:) and we shall also have a look at all the brands that you have suggested.

More rubber gets left in town streets doing "U"turns than on open highways.
I always get reprimanded for doing 3 point turns when I could easily do a simple U-turn.
Maybe you need to slow down around corners when it is a toad! ;) :lol: 8-)

Interesting Dot, the High Fly brand name is one I'd never heard of previously.... until I needed to put a new set on the van & there they were. The bloke at CCTyres recommended them & said he'd been selling more of that brand for general use. At $135 each, a good buy so far.

No Bob haven't seen a tyre power near here. (they probably just supply tyres for Fords) :lol: :lol: :lol:

That would be a wise move ( wouldn't it be Dot ) I think they are the only ones that sell Toyo.
