Insa's for rock crawlin' ?

<< < (2/3) > >>

ciganka:
yes follow your logic there and in fact saw the BFG rock crawling tyre today on the internet and that is perhaps even less aggressive looking than the BFG Mud. So I am now wondering if the Insa Dakars would be a good choice. Much denser but still very similar to BFG mud.

Sharpshooter:
I have Insa Dakars on my Disco. Although i dont use it for rock crawling, they are a very good tyre. I have done over 12000mls and they are hardly worn. Much different to other remoulds i have used. They perform very well even on wet roads.

I will definately be getting them again. :)

Tommo:
I think for rock crawling you need lots of little lugs rather than a few big ones.

This is the BFG rock crawler...


lugs facing all different directions which is why i figured the sahara would be good

ciganka:
yes this could be going the way of the dakar here as they are pretty good value for money as as you say sharpshooter you're getting good mileage returns.

Just turning this on its head for a moment though - she's currently got 265 BFG AT on her which I assumed would be cack (never run a tyre that road biased on a Landy before - always used SAT's for my IIA) but the thing is I havent got to try them yet as I havent yet got my vehicle out here. If we're talking about denser tread being better for rock, perhaps these AT's will fair ok? Mine still have a good amount of meat on them too. But does anyone actually use that level of tyre for off-roading, or are they as lame as they look (to me at least!)??

extreme90:
good in mud
rubbish on rock
there the copy of simex,
and if my simex are something to go off, there usless on rock unless you have got lockers in the axles, but even then there usless even running at 4psi
