Directional tyres..

(1/3) > >>

johnte:
I've been looking at buying a new set of tyres for the 110. I was thilking of Khumo KL71's, but been directional, what do you do for a spare?? is it OK to use for short period in the "wrong" direction..  OR should I stick with BFG M/T's?

HiQ Lee:
as the tyre is being used as a spare therefore only temporary use then yes it is fine to have a directional spare  Lee

clbarclay:
Gernerally a directional tyre run the wrong way will be less effective, though as a spare should be fine.

My logic would be to have the spare for the passanger side as you have less visiblity of the obsticles its driving over off road and when on road, most of the debris tends to accumulate at the sides of the roads, whicht eh passanger side is more likely to run over.

waveydavey:
Put the best tyre you have now as the spare - it saves the cost of a 5th tyre and is not directional. Not as good on one side but better for the other.

Big Watty:
Stick with the BFG/MT's
