Outer Limits 4x4 Board

After my holiday travelling round the outback and up north for a bit over 10,000 kms i destroyed 5 tyres.

bought some new tyres for the ute today ... steel belt radial, 5 ply tread and 4 ply sidewalls so they sound tough enough.
[pm rolly or ring Austyre 55970099 for a price if you want to know]

i got the 35 x 12.5 x 15's




sitting beside my old BFG muds ...


wish they had of been available before i left on the trip

cool bananas

keep us updated on their wear rates and performance etc etc etc

Hey they look familier i wonder who fitted them up for you
so far all ive heard is that they are quieter than bfg muds on the road

Any updates?

Well, if you weren't banned from Overlander Forum you could have read the whole sad story.
--------------------------------------------------------------
Shanes words:
I let them down to 30 hot when i hit the dirt road just west of bourke and ran over something that put 6 holes in one tyre and i drove on it for a while with it under inflated but couldn't feel it in the mud, i think that is what stuffed that tyre.

A ceramic piece [part of a coffee mug or bottle] sliced through the tread area on another tyre and damaged the inside ... i let the tyres down to 26 after that and the tyre guy put two liners in that tyre which held air but it is not one i could trust.

i had a stone go through the tread and damage the inside on another tyre
but two plugs kept air in it but i cant trust that one either.

A rock thrown up by the front tyre sliced off the rubber valve stem and it now has two plugged holes in the sidewall probably caused by the going flat on a rocky road, this one will also be thrown out.

A root sticking out in a bulldust filled hole sliced open the sidewall on the fifth tyre.

The tyres were all under half tread and were around five or six years old with at least 70,000 kms out of them so i reckon i had a good run out of them.

i would have replaced them before i left if the bighorns had of arrived in the country in time but they didn't so i thought "she'll be right, i should get another trip out of them"
Think i might have been a bit wrong there

How are the Bighorns going so far.

My question is, are muddys appropriate for touring? I am not having a dig, I really want to know...

Pm ryano and he will look after you , i am unable to quote a price sorry mate.

Any more reports on the Bighorn's???

I'am running the same tyres there wicked i luv them .
So far there wearing really well

I'm sure big red said to me last weekend that he hasn't even used the bighorns yet. Because he's getting on in age now and it's too hard for him to get 38.5 creepys on and off

Any update on how the Bighorns are wearing with a few klm on them?
