Outer Limits 4x4 Board

Trying to decide whether or not to get radial claws and run them full time.
Only do 50 - 100km's a week on the road. Then do quite a bit of off roadin on the weekends etc.
How many km's have people gotten on their radial claws?
Please list what terrain you drive on % of the time etc etc
Hoping to get some idea of whther or not to run some cheaper roadies for during the week.

if your going dedicated offroad tire, why not get a real offroad tire(i.e. bias ply, or simex or something)

Ive done 30000+ kms on mine from road to bush & there about half worn
I think there a great tyre heaps quitter than bfg muds

you can get the claws in bias ply i have them and they are great

have only done 1,000kms or so on them so far but love them, very comfy on the highway too and not that noisy

I've done about 15000 kms max on mine and they are about half worn, lost most of there bite offroad, they have been used for mainly offroad. There at the stage where i will be downgrading them to a summer tyre and get something else for winter.

I did search - didn't find that thread though!

So it looks as though on a heavy vehicle 40k kms would be around about the norm. Decisions Decisions.

I ahve a set on the 80, done 30000+ prob 70% on road, they wear really well as long as you keep on top of the pressures. Good for everything except mud, unless you air them down to about ten psi as the side walls are as tough as nails and they dont bag.

really? what size? on my 40 the 33's bag out heaps... at 30 psi people keep saying "is that tire flat?"

and 45punkbus stop reading...

i've noticed that with the pressures as well. keep on top of them and they wear well

315/16 and I have had a flat and did not notice till I hit a corner hard

35 x 13.5 / 16 bias on GQ ute, noisy as, poor lateral traction on gravel roads makes driving interesting. Rear tyres are at 10 psi before they start to bulge (Al tray though), front at 16 psi wil bulge

I've done about 55, 000 on mine 99.9% road work unfortunatly, fronts (which were rear for along time) have about 6-7 mm left, rears are about 10mm

done 20,000 and around 70% left, wear faster than bfg's and are much noisier once they are worn down a little. (had 31" bfg muds, now have 31" claws)
