FH Posted December 9, 2001 Share Posted December 9, 2001 Our trusty steed requires new footwear. It joined the family with factory-fitted Dunlop TG35 GrandTrek P265/70R16's and after 60,000 miles of good service these were replaced with the same rubber. The second set have been absolute garbage by comparison, with a propensity to borderline aquaplaning in even small puddles blush.gif They handle sooooo differently from the first set, methinks the compound has been changed. The present tyres are road use and I don't mind changing to 60/40 - although our off-road requirements are few and far between. The 'truck' in question is a Landcruiser Colorado LWB - but most of you know that wink.gif Thank you for any assistance on this non-Se7en-related topic, chaps smile.gif FH Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EFA Posted December 9, 2001 Share Posted December 9, 2001 I though he wore Hush Puppies...... BTW the thing that "Road to Hell" interupted was quite interesting. Do you have it in digital form??

tony isherwood Posted December 10, 2001 Share Posted December 10, 2001 I'll take a look on the Disco. Seem to last so long, i forget the name ! I changed the originals, with the same again. First set did 30,000 which I thought was a fair milage. No problems handling (in a 4X4 way) but I use the Disco for towing, not off road, so if you mudplug, these tyres may not be for you.
