Missus had them on her NL Pajero when she had it (265/70R16). Quite ok onroad and on dirt roads, never done and serious offroad with them. Didn't notice they were overly noisey but sidewalls seemed pretty soft. Seemed to wear ok too for a cheapy, she done around 30k on them and they still had heaps of tread tread when she got rid of it.

My mate runs them on his daily landcruiser we are chipped and he tows a trailer. He gas a dickload of tread left for the age. We went down to my misses old mans farm. The cruiser got everywhere where a locked hilux could go in the mud.

grey nomads dont like anything, they just like whinging about every thing as it passes the time more quicky than lawn bowls while they wait to die.

oh and in answer to your question everything seems to last forever on a zook so how bad could they be?

[Scrawny]

I've never seen any issues with Sava's, and I've seen a few now

thats a pretty cool AT pattern.

personally though, you're best to stick to the tried and tested- tyre aint cheap to replace if you're not happy with them.

look at:
Kumho KL71
Maxxis Bighorn (762 or 764 style)
BFG KM2

I had a set of sava ATs on a SWB pajero that i owned for a few weeks, they went well in sand and were quite on road. The small amount of dirt roads I drove on them they seemed capable, and i dare say they would last along time on a Zook. They also smoke up quite well.

smoking up a siera

im realy considering given thease tires a shot. and my old mans building a tandem box trailer to tow behind his cruza so i recon if im not happy with them ill probs be able to flog em to him for that.

what do u mean they have soft side walls. as in r u saying they flaten out grate at low pressure (on the beach) or they puncture easily.

i was impressed by the tread pattern to.

im sure they carnt be worse than desert duelers or cooper st/stt

I just noticed that the sidewall were pretty soft/flexy with no air in the tyre, a lot softer than the Goodyear ATR's they replaced. Proberly not such an issue on a Suzuki, should bag well.

cooper STT are far more aggressive than those... i had STTs on mine - they went great on rocks and sand but clogged a fair bit in mud and didnt self clean.

Those sava tyres are pretty much a road/sand tyre and not much else.

[smiffkid]

sava work alright in the mud but obviously not as good as a decent muddie,

[MacDaddy]

Not sure i would trust, or rely on $100 tyres with sidewalls that soft offroad... as the old saying goes, you get what you pay for !

FYI, its not the sidewalls you want to bag out, its the actual tread area/foot print, that you want to elongate, in my opinion, with sidewalls that soft, they would be good on sand, but they would puncture on the rocks, or get staked by a stick to easily... maybe an option is to get a LT tyre, ( Light truck ), if you are going anywhere other than sand...

[SSSIERA]

am looking at mostly sand. and general stuff close to perth. nothing to serious atm. will tax the old boys cruza for that hahahah

[SSSIERA]

i havent seen any coopers that ware evenly. and there supodely puncture proof. hahahah 32 stakes over 6 tyres one 1 trip we did

[Scrawny]

We have run them on some of our Patrols at work and never had any issues that I have seen. I'd be happy to run them on my own car

[Richo]

Have got stt's on my zook and i'm very happy with them. the only issue would be that they dont self clean to well in the mud but other than that they have been bullet proof, 55000 k's on the same set and still got 60% tread left.

exactly the experience i had with my coopers... Moph on here is wearing them now and has done a gazillion KM on them and theyre still serving him well.
