Hello,
So the new family member needs some new rubber on the rear. Its a mix of a cracked dueler and a yokohama geolander. neither of which seem very stimulating.
I am looking at tyres and see a few obvious choices but the most obvious one, the copper at3, seems to suffer from a hell of a lot of negative reviews re quality control.
Things like uneven sidewalls, unbalancable, constant air leaks, poor wear, prone to bulge and general cruddy customer service when a compalint is made.
What say you on the matter?
As it is I am looking more at the maxxis 771 bravo now as it just seems to have great reviews across the board.
I have looked at the GGAT2 and the BFGATKO but while I like the aggressive looks I am really unsure about A. such old tread technology when compared to the modern offerings and B the road noise/fuel economy/wet grip of such knobblers.
Is there a half decent smooth rolling AT tyre that offers better than E or F grade fuel efficiency? Truth is its going to be pulling a horsebox out of fields and spending most of its time on tarmac rather than climbing mountains so something road orientated with pretentions of terrain might be the choice.
the cooper seems to be this but the pretty shocking reviews give me pause.
Thanks for any input on this expensive choice before I make an uninformed one and waste good hardearned.
