Title: Classic tyres
Post by: ianhwood on April 21, 2006, 15:54:41

Ey up lads

Just had my tyres slashed outside my house. ***tards!!

They were 6.50 X 16 Goodyear HiMiler .They look like a land rover tyre.
Cant get anything similar.
Anyone got any ideas about what to put on, must go off road and look like an Classic tyre.

Help

Bad luck Man.  6.50's are gono take some finding.  As for classic pattern there are SAG and SAT, both look excellent on a series but neither of which are made anymore but turn up on ebay fairly regularly, these are offroad biased and noisy with interesting handling.  You can get a radial remould 7.50SAT copy from Milners called a Mud Plugga.

7.50 x 16 Avon Ranger, or one of the remould lookalikes?

Quieter than SATs etc on the road and not bad off it.

I have one Avon Rangemaster 7.50 x R16 on a standard (white) rim, got about 5 - 6mm tread left ............  you can have it if it will help (we're just up the road a bit)

SATs are almost unbeatable off-road, so if you want to go plugging through mud and that, get a set of SATs.  Unfortunately they don't give the best road handling by far, and they're not exactly good on rock (especially wet rock!).
