Another possible tyre

Post by Hacksawbob »

has any one had a look at this?

listed at as an AT but looks quite aggressive in the pic, £42.00 a tyre inc VAT and delivery. Seems like a better option for those that aren't happy with a remould for about the same price? might be a bit more softroad though hard to tell.

Well Simon, for the price, the Kumhos would do you fine I think, give you a bit of grip off-road (but mud gums them up of course).

my colway AT's are 'pleasant' on road, can't say I've had any 'moments' with them at all, and not too noisy.

tell him to buy some greenway 'chaco's n I'll swop him for my AT's n some cash :wink:

However aggressive an AT looks in the picture the design will mean narrow gaps between the tread blocks and less aggressive side lugs, hence not so good off the road.

Still Syncro, just much fasterer
