Kingpin Technic Tracker MT Tyre - thoughts? was created by GuardianAngel
No eBay APP ID and/or Cert ID defined in Kunena configurationI have done some Googling on these and they seem to get fair reports, but has anyone here had them on their J, and if so what did you think?

I would like some KL71's but these are quite a bit cheaper. I only do about 6k miles a year, mainly roads but I like to take to the lanes in Surrey, some of which are a bit boggy.

But considering my road tyres do a pretty good job, even these at £56 each have got to be better for mud/wet sand? Or, would I be totally wasting my time with them?

I think.I would spend my money on Insa Turbos rather than Kingpins but that's just as I believe them to be better quality. I've not owned either so I'm not really best placed to say much. I have many friends who've had no probs with Insa turbos but have read OIC tread blocks coming off kingpins in the past.

Some people like Kingpins though.

So I suppose I've just rambled & not been a great deal of help, but I tried.

No it's all good feedback. I am trying to beef up the J on a budget, but I realise these remoulds hence the price, so there is a bigger risk of failure.

I have a set of technic amazon's fitted to my Jimny and I swear by them, good on road manners for the Amazons tread pattern and brilliant in the mud. This is my 2nd set as my old SJ based offroader has them too. I have had no issues with tread blocks, wear ect and would buy again in a heartbeat. My mate was so impressed with them on my Suzukis he brought a set for his Disco and he is really happy with them.
