New ute
- Thread starter mfexpanda
- Start date
new tyres are on the agenda .
the rear drivers original has become unroadworthy , left rear worn bad but just ok, after 30,000 Ks mostly towing .
42psi cold pressure and the tread has worn badly
wont be buying them again .
Went to have the tyres balanced and rotated while we were in Bundy and the spare had to go on

Something in a LT, P's and XL's wear too quickly with lots of towing, I was going for some Dueller 697's LTs for my Colorado as the next set of shoes but sold it before, Jeep now has Geolanders in LT the P rated ones wore away quickly towing but last year they brought 18" jobs out in LT. seem very good so far........... pay3 get 4 is my style of deal.
@Drover mine are 18" as well 265 60 18R i might try something in 265 70 18R
What did you have on previously?
Not sure if you recall, but as also suggested by @Drover, but the Rock Truck had two sets of 697's over it's life. Not sure of the current prices, but at the ~$220/tyre I got, I reckon brilliant bit value. Highly recommended. Unfortunately they don't come in the right size for Big Foot so I'll be looking elsewhere. Falken Wildpeak's currently at the top of the list.

the currant are the original bridgestones that came with the car .Tyrepower in Bundy suggested Toyo 1 size up that had a higher load capacity
looks like anywhere from $300 to $400 each
I tried to find something but failed.......................... something like this...
.looking like this..............
Makes my cruiser fly it's soooooo good I've heard it said they don't do a lot but I really disagree in my car it's pretty good I have it on 3 that's more than enough
I changed my remap deleted it .....it was tuned to the Max bit to full on I now have a Recurve unit stays within safe parameters of your car a few different modes power ... towing ..... detune for slower driving like kids learning to drive or 4x4ing ......eco.....and the standed tune I'm very happy with mine car is running very smooth it likes it and so do I I run mine in power lol it goes alright ..... better than a single tune I reckon

What's the "lag" you speak off?
The remap really helped our Collie when we had it. Keep it conservative and you'll be right!

Hi @Drover
i have maxxis AT980 on my RC colorado great tyres
im leaning towards Maxxis RAZR AT811 265 70 18R
Leaving mine in dumb down 7, then turning it off to tow. It gives the perception of a lesser power loss under the van load
She goes in tomorrow morning for walkinshaw Knoxfield ,VCM Performance, to do their stuff
idrive has been removed
will see how it goes
You might feel what its like when I give the Jeep some throttle, awesome.
