SAT Tyres, what are they?

<< < (5/6) > >>

Eeyore:
Eyup, is that Deestone a copy of the early 205x16 Avon rangemaster? A much better tyre than the treadless thing they ended up making in 7.50x16 (but was very good on tarmac if you stop the dang things throwing chucks) ,

Brother in law had a set on his S2. Quite good they were too.

--- Quote from: "lightweight-love" ---SATS are very similiar to general grabber SAGS both not good on road but amazing offroad! very upsetting how fast they wear down on the road tho!

One obvious differeance though is that the SATs are a directional tread pattern which greatly improves self cleaning and will dig for Brittan if given half a chance. The

There is not a lot I don't like about my set of SATs (apart from driving on the road :roll: ), but it would be nice if they made them in bigger sizes like 8.25r16 or 9.00r16



--- Quote from: "Jim-Willy" ---I would defo be interested if someone has started making that pattern again

Their is a company advertising 'mud plugga' SAT copies in TOR mag for £48 a piece.

V8MoneyPit:
Got a picture of the tyres on the 90. I was wrong about them being Deestone. The spare is a Deestone, but these are Lassa, whoever they are! Very similar to the SAT's. This is a 6.00x16 and very scary on wet tarmac  :shock:

Devon-Rover:
Ok to confuse but maybe help clear things up too.....


V8 moneypit has a Lassa But Deestone did do a copy too that was in 6.00X16 pattern

Deestone are more well known for the pattern as shown by jim willy as that is what they did for the 7.50X16 size. And in turn deestone copied that pattern from the Goodyear Xtra grip as seen on early military landies.
As well that same pattern can be seen on chinese copies going under the names of Flamingo and Security.

Lassa also do a 7.50X16 called the LT/A which i might be wrong but i think Jim has had those before.

The SAG as seen on jakes old disco is another 'oldschool' pattern similar to the SAT in only the way that it works on the principal of a large shoulder void block pattern.

The SAT as seen in Eeyore's piccy was copied and is now for sale IIRC by Milner offroad it is in radial form and known as the mud plugga, And still wears very quickly on the road.

Eeyore:
