697?
I agree, AT's are ok on gravel roads and that's about it. In mud in my experience they just cake up and turn to slicks.Quote:

I've got a winch, most (all) my 4wding is up gravel riverbeds where ATs seem to perform as well as MTs, and they'd be better for the other 95% of my driving which is on the road. Also if I don't like them I can sell them and buy some MTs again. I'm keen to give 'em a go. Had good performance from BFG ATs in Oz but gosh they're expensive.
If you can get by with an AT then they are way better than a mud tyre for daily driving, muds just wear so quickly. Like you say for gravel river beds and road driving, the AT is sweet.
Have a look at tyreshoponline.co.nz ,have brought a set of new muds recently cheap as chips and great service. Cheers
Had those on the Safari. Glad to see them gone.Quote:

I always buy off Steve and Tracey, great people to deal with. Just bought another couple of Hercules DT's. My current set have done 58,000kms and still have 5-8mm tread on them. Bloody good tyres on and off road for an "A/T"Quote:

probably doesn't help that most of the Utes these days have a ton of grunt!
Perfect for his 3B then...?Quote:

Sticking with 15s. Need new rims tho
Ok. I asked coz I have 4 new 16x8 black steel spokies at work that I will sell soon.
Ah yeah. I reckon I'll stick with 15s, don't see any advantage to 16s
I had maxxis 980s on my surf and they are a great gravel tire. Really rate those, but the price has gone up heaps.
Bridgestone have a deal on now, pay for 3 and get 4th free, for the AT697s, so I'll save 400 and buy those for the prado.
