Rochefort Member 80 Member For: 10y 4m 7d Posted 08/04/14 10:54 PM Share Posted 08/04/14 10:54 PM What tyres are people running on the rears of their utes?I'm finding mine break traction waaaaaaaaaaaay too easy in the wet, especially if there is an incline in the road. Really have to feather the accelerator... And if it happens to change gear while climbing a hill... be prepaid to catch the arse end as it goes WEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE :oAnd yeah, I know she has a turbo... and lots of power and its wet... and my old turbo diesel 4by would do it if you stomped it hard enough... But... This is minimal power.I meant to look at the brand/name of the tyre before typing this thread, but its too far to walk to the carpark with a buggered knee :s Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Been doing some light reading and it seems Nitto Invo are the best bet. Looks like around $600-$700 delivered for the 2. I was a bit apprehensive on the brand but found out they're just the north american branch of Toyo Tyres. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Either way...Seems to be good reviews on the Good Year Eagle Directional 5's and even better on the Asymmetric 2'sLow profile tyres are such a rip off.. at least for 250 a corner I got a lot of rubber on the 4by Edited 09/04/14 03:03 AM by Rochefort Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Though they were $460 a corner on 245s so you paid for it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
