#General grabber red letter tire review free

I have 40s on the 60 now and theyre great for all round use, no balancing, no beads in em and they track straight and vibration free on the highway.įunny but while doing some work on my buddies heap in my garage we got to talking about the km2 and he told me he had around 65xxx km on the set of 35s he traded in with his old jeep. Just a little louder on the hwy than the duratracks i had on there before and they were siped slightly by the po so they actually impressed me during the winter. I dd'd a set of 37s on my 80 and they did great. Might sound dumb but id go with bfg km2s. If youre looking for an angry or pissed off looking tire i dont think any at's will do the trick. I lived through two sets but never again. Tires are expensive and I went with the 'Kooks at the time because they were less expensive and were receiving good initial reviews. Maybe Hankook has improved since my experience. Dumped these for some Coopers which have been much better. I did not discover this until we had racked up over 30k on these tires so I lived with it.

The 80 was a relatively new purchase and I was catching up on maintenance so never considered that a new set of tires would have come from the factory out of round but that was the case. The vibration was not consistent and as I worked through the 80 I could not track down the issue. Wheel bearings, knuckle rebuild, alignment, drive shafts, u-joints. At speeds > 65 mph a droning vibration would set in and I chased this problem for quite a while. These were used almost entirely on the road and had good tread life. Second set purchased soon after the first and these were some AT style 285/75/16s for the FZJ80. As in do a tire rotation, drop tire to ground, and ssssssssssss, as the sidewall ruptures. Not bad but the sidewalls were weak and I had at least two of the four tires develop sidewall ruptures under normal driving conditions. These tires wore well, were not too loud, were poor in the mud. Any new set of tires will almost always be better than the worn out set coming off. Thing about most tire reviews is that the review is based on someone's subjective impression pertaining to a freshly mounted or low mileage set of tires. I purchased these tires based on good reviews on MUD at the time. I have had two sets of Hankooks, first on the FJ60 a set of 33 x 12.5 x 15 MT type tire. Anything round and black as long as it is not Hankook.
