Tyres for GV

Post by grand zook »

Hey, I'm pretty new to all this. Anybody out there have any recommendations for tyre types and sizes for a GV?

I'm thinking AT's instead of MT's, as it does a fair bit of city and highway driving too, but I'm happy to be convinced otherwise.

Whaddya reckon?

I have been told motorway are doing mongrels in a good size for the GV 16" rims

This may sway you that way along.

cheers

ya gotta work out if ur willing to pay for the extra performance offroad; both in cost of replacing tyres quicker, and reduced performance onroad. i'd be happy with bgf muds or goodyear wranglers for onroad tyres, but they are gonna wear quicker and not work as good onroad...

Yeah, Steve, if you finance it for me!

You will? Thanks mate!

anyways, I reckon even if I go for ATs, most times I'll just run out of clearance before I run out of traction. But I'm still looking at that clearance thing too...
