    how much air do you have in them? too much an you will be slidin around the surf dont av a lot of weight over the rear so you could put about 5 bags o sand in the boot that a cheap way the other is to get some better tyres if you wana keep it cheap go for a set o ColwayAT if you ave a little more to spend go for BFGs ATs the last forever them in the know call em the million mile tyre then again be lighter wi the right foot n check you aint leakin fuel on to your rear tyre hop it helps golly gone

    Hard compound is good. It means they last a long time.

            Could that be attributed to your l.s.d? or is that in a sheet format??

            tyre pressures are 30 psi checked them a few days ago, only really noticed it recently obviously the cold and damp roads have brought it on. Noted a few tyre choices tho in posts on this thread thanks for that folks. Don't have the money as yet with that santa fella coming soon etc

            i think i will be putting the 4wd on in frosty conditions
            Fuzzy wuzzy wuz a woman??

                  It could of been the LSD (rear axle not sheet) but the new ones are definately spinning a lot less.

                    slip slidin away

                    I had the same problem on a wet road, going round a bend up a steepish hill and the auto box kicked down a cog, that was it the surf was off. You try and control it and when the backend snaps back its so top heavy, its off the other way then, needless to say I was inches away from a six foot stone wall when i got control (and had mounted the pavement)((new underwear required)), All this on A.T's.

                      I've never had any dramas with my mud terrains with 33psi, even on wet roads. They do seem to be getting more grippy as they wear tho'.

                          I find that mine slides around a bit, but annoyingly it only lights up the inside wheel.

                          My skyline's the best fun at the moment, living in the salt producing town of winsford, the roads are relly greasy. My record so far is lighting the rear wheels up while doing 80 in third. It's great fun trying to keep it straight! My mum doesn't see to appreciate it on the way to Tesco's though.

                          cheers,

                            I had grandtreks on mine - found them hideous in the wet - so changed them for michelin synchrones - hasn't slipped once!
