New Tyres For The Territory

[swagman]

Hi all,

Im about to fit my Brembo 6 spot calipers and 355mm rotors to our TGT, using a set of FPV F6X rims I have purchased. At the same time I figured it was a nice time to fit new tyres to these rims and simply sell off the factory rims. Has anyone tried something different to the Forteras in the factory size 235/55/18 103V? There is a lot of brands and types out there so I figured it was certainly worth an ask. The

Forteras are ok, but seeing as I know what they are like, maybe a move forwards might be in order. I dont do any off-roading and so maybe a more tarmac focused tyre may be the go. Any feedback would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Mal K

I have used Maxxis Marauder S2 in the size 275/45 x 20. Grip was good and they lasted over 40,000 km, I am now looking to replace them. They are a touch on the noisy side in this size though.

sorry to transgress a little, but I noticed you mentioned the f6x rims are these interchangeable with the rwd territory or are the confined to the awd models only.

thanks

Hi RS,

The factory rims fit on either AWD or RWD variants without any problems. And the load rating is spot-on.

Cheers,

I thought that may have been the case and just wanted it comfirmed.

Thanks
