Another tyre thread

[goonarmy]

Right after getting stuck to f**k the weekend ive decided to invest in a set of mud terrains.Ive whittled the list down to two options, can you lot gis some feedback/advice/abuse.
The first options are Kumho KL71's on silver modular rims, which the fella said are a new pattern but ive looked em up and they look the s**t.
The second is a slightly cheaper deal Insa turbo Sahara's on modulars.these are a touch cheaper but aint thes remolds or something?
Any way let us know what you think, cheers!

 

[oil dripper]

the insas are remoulds got a set on the 110 had no issues with them yet not to noisy either till ya get over the 50 mark

 

[wah]

I have Insa's, excellent tyres, nearly everyone i know has them, no problems so far.

Yeah fair bit bigger then but they wont fit on me Claassic!Thats not a bad price for five and a alloy then

 

[topless_matt]

Yeah, i didnt think it was too bad a price.
I will give my opinions on them after i get them

the kumhos are the ones i favor.Are you gonna use em on and off road?Im thinking of using em 80% or more off road and keeping the rims and tyre i got now for on road.

 

[topless_matt]

I plan to use them on and off road Ive heard from a few of my mates that have them theat they are very good in the wet on road.
They will get a lot of stick off road as i work on a farm and am always 'working' in the mud

they look the business http://www.nissan4x4.co.za/uploads/TheSani/images/2005-12-16_114404_KL71_2.jpg but apprently they are a new tread and they are rated 2 * for tarmac which the fella trying to sell em to me said is good for an MT dunno how true that is....

 

[topless_matt]

Kumhos are great! very stable on road even in the wet.
They run quiet too whichy was a suprise.
They are good in mud, had them up to the top of the wheels in some clay on the farm and they kept on gripping

 

[Oddie]

Did you get the KL71s?

 

[goonarmy]

think thekumhos are the ones fer me too.now just gotta get some mohoney and im away.next weekend it is then!

 

[topless_matt]

Yeah got the KL71's.

 

[Oddie]

Me too, unfortunately mine came with an almost new set of BFGs on boosts which i need to wear down before i can (persuade the Doris) justify replacement - if only they were like the BFG's on me other car where i'm doing well to get 10K out of them! Only 54K to go...

 

[yella]

well thank **** someone has seen the light. kumhos are as good if not better then bfg's and a lot cheaper.
