TYRE CHOICE? BF Goodrich vs Yokohama

Thanks ooky for the advice.

Ive been having a good look around for tyres and come across these HANKOOK RT03 which also come in a handy 215/75/15 size.

They are MT's but from what I've read they ride well on the road.

Anyone else using them here?

I've got the BF Goodridge AT's on my Jimny at the moment... These have done me VERY well for the last two years including a prang where some twit girl did a u turn into me and managed to hit me in the rear left wheel, only managing to pierce the tire 'just', hence the three ply side walls which make them super reliable when out playing... I have also had a chip board screw about 40mm through the tire and managed to unscrew it with no pressure lost after about a year...

On road their pretty good, great grip and low noise. Mine are the 70's and they dont rub even on my mud flap brackets, about 20mm gap at lock...

The speedo, gained 4km/ph which now brings in line my speed (Jimny) with my Navman and GPS when matching them up... As the jimny is undersped with the OEM tires by about 5km/ph.

I can personally say that these are great tires and you should get these, as they will be a long term investment for both security and when out playing!!!

At about $1200 (AUD) for 5 tires including 'finger plate ballancing' which is a must! These have been the sole greatest purchase for my jimny so far!!!

Had the Hankook's on my old Jimny,performed well off road but ran very nicely on the road as well.
