Thread: 70 series - what mod or what mod NOT to get

Well, to be fair the rotations for the ones I've been involved with were all done on spec by the outfit that sold them, they were aware of the useage (gravel roads, towing, fully loaded vehicle etc) and were quick to action the 'abuse' exemption on the warranty. Even from new and at the pressure recommended by the outfit that squeezed them onto the rims - they are one of the slickest tyres I've experienced in the wet. Loose as bro. I expect that if you use them in the perfect conditions for what they are designed for you will get the stated performance and they will run well for you, but for general working truck - there are options that don't cut out on gravel and offer grip in the wet and I'd prefer them to be fair.

The best mileage for buck tyres I've had are the Dunlop AT22 - the reason for that is 65,000-70,000 Km wear for $100 a corner on factory rims after people sold them off to fit aftermarket wheels. That's 3500Kg boat towing, fully loaded to unloaded, gravel roads and everything in between. They aren't the best in all conditions but I've been surprised at how well they have performed in conjunction with the electronic doohickeys on the ute...
