you can get maxxis for a bit more than 190, more
people would be running them than nankang.

these tyres r meant to b a sub company of yokohama.....according to a local tyre rep
its all yoko tech an they set up a cheaper company in korea or somethin

mate has the muds on a generally road 4b
an i put some on the olds 4b also.....but road pattern

seem like a reasonable tyre , specially for the price

thanks for that hot rod, how did the sizes go? do they measure in close to there 'size' ?

Az just fitted a new set of these puppies to my lux 33/12.5/15's, they clean well, very goos on road and bag out nicley! they have similar tread pattern to the procomp muds, and 190 is the chaepest they will do and the maxxis muds u can pick up for 197 to 220 here on the north side, if interested pm for companies i visited
cheers

get some silverstones like mine
MT117 - SPORTS

Rounghly $240 each & measure 285/75/16
So you would need 16 x 8 rims which are costly http://www.silverstone.com.my/ty-4x4/images/mt117sp.jpg

Claws and X-Terrains (and Boggers) aren't good for lateral grip because there's nothing stopping the tyre moving sideways across the road - just big wide grooves running unbroken across the tyre, or along the direction the tyre is sliding. At least the Silverstones have that central rib to break the groove, which should create SOME lateral grip.

they are good, although mine being a shortie i get allot of sideways action :armsup:

They bite in well much better than a standard mud pattern, the only real let down of the tyre is they are 16 inch

Silverstones are great on side slopes as mentioned above.

Nankangs are a good affordable tyre. We have tested numerous sets on 4wd TV and have been impressed with how well they clean and pull in goo.

We are putting a set of the 315s on the wifes other car tomorrow...so we are not running the Silverstone Xtremes the whole time.
