Looking at getting some new tyres soon around 30-31". Just wondering what everyone is using and what theyre using them for mainly. BTW its not my daily drive.

[pickle2589]

oh thats the other thing, can anyone explain the numbers that are used to quote tyre size?

[31zook]

31x10.5x15 silverstone mt-117 sports handle good onroad and off road they are great. They bag out really well on 10psi been on the car through 3 owners and still have 10mm tread.

i have 31" extremes and they are the ducks guts. the only two situations that i dont
like them are. they suck in dry hot sand and they are a bit dodgy on
river crossings when the bottem is hard and smooth and there is a bit of flow.
they are noisey but that just seems to stop the roo's from running into me, like a
big awesome roo shoo

[Jamie]

i run wrangler MTR's. good in sand and mud, not bad on the road, nice and sticky in the wet though

[ninjadaniel]

Goodyear wrangler 31" on 15x7 on my Jimny (1" too big if u ask me)
Cooper STT 31" on 15x8 front & 15x9 rear on my Sierra (Scrubs with only 2" spring lift)

Mate has 30" BF goodrich MT on his sierra with 2" spring lift and they fit great.

[11_evl]

31,10.5,15 cooper stt on the little car and
37,12.5, 15 creepies on mine

[Damo]

That'd suck heaps up there for ya then Shep nothin' but hot dry sand as far as the eye can see!

I'm running 30x9.5x15 Maxxis Trepadores on 15x7x-15 so far they seem really good in the mud and great on the road not noisey at all but for real mud I'd recomend the extreme's in a 31" as well! Cheers Robb

Haven't tried the extremes but had 31x10.5 mickey thompson baja mtz on my missus LWB. They were a great all round tyre not to noisey bagged out well and grip well on all surfaces

[greenzook89]

I've got BFG all terrains atm, but thinking of some Baja Claws next, but i've had good experience with both of them!

[pickle2589]

good to hear what everyone is running. is there anything that u wouldnt recommend? bad experiences? overpriced? etc.

haha. dw im enjoying the zook too much even though its standard (saving up for the mods and tyres)

[pickle2589]

Can anyone tell me (im sure there will be a debate) as to whether bias ply or radials are better for offroading. Are many tyres still manufactured with bias ply? if so which ones?

You won't find anything in a bias for Zuk size tyres They usually start around 37's etc...
but happy to be proven wrong

Nup but after re-reading it I forgot that the extremes are bias

[pickle2589]

Rightio. i was just reading ur build-up. so u haven't switched over yet then? btw very nice build-up thread. the zook looks awesome. very similar to what i want to do to my LWB.

[zooker]

Running half bald 35" goodyear MTR's. I'd buy another set (in 37's ) if they still made them. Let down the pressures and they stick to rock like nothing else

Running 32" BFG muddies on my other zook. They are a good all-rounder. Have done me well and never let me down (no pun intended). Cant complain when I picked em up for $400
