All Terrain Tyre Comparisons

Also, it's getting towards the summer. Summer air is much harder to get into tyres so that might explain the cost.

Thats with Britannia tyres. Might try a back street mud hut like the ones you've visited

Andy try reading old Labour Party Journals for cheap tyres, not Tory Party.

Yes and £5 per tyre is a conservative estimate

i am running the Hankook rf10 215/75 15
i drive slow and steady off road and on road i am a tyre squealing lunatic(sometimes)

downsides:
- fuel consumption.
- car feels a wee bit slower (bigger and heavier tyre).
- wet grip is meh, not as good as road tyres.
- deep mud is to much to ask (deeeeeep mud i mean)
- slightly louder than the stock tyres(nothing annoying)
- may be a bit stiff for an unloaded jimny off road(load rating)

upsides:
- in my case €250/300 cheaper per 5 as the k02 bf goodrich
- strong construction
- better offoad than i expected (it does like lower tire pressures off road)
- survives hooning on the street rather well
after 5000 km not a lot of visible thread wear
apart from damage caused by a raving lunatic behind the wheel, who thinks he is driving a sports car at 7000rpm.

my conclusion is its not a 5 out of 5 star tyre but it is a good and affordable tyre.
most of the downsides apply for all a/t tyres in this size

Welcome to the fold JustCallMeRick,

Personal experience with a Jimny is worth ten times the assorted comments from owners of Landies and Subarus on the Web.

With 215/75s, are you running a Gen 4 - although your profile picture shows a Gen 3? Not that it matters for the tyre review - just interested.

I have a 2002 gen 3

A new gen 4 cost about €28000 over here.
I would be scared to off road that the way i use my gen 3.
