Tire recommendation

Post by Cannonball »

Hi guys,

I need a little help. I am looking to replace my street tires with AT tires. Size 275/60/20 on a Ram 1500:

Available in Dubai in this size are:

Bridgestone, Dunlop ATX3, Kumho and Semar (something chiniese, very cheap and he swears good quality)

Bridgestone are by far the most expensive, Test results are not good, Same goes for Dunlop on wet street and snow (i think I can ignore that ;) ), Kumho - I didn't find anything useful.

Please, let me know what your recommedations are and why ...

Thanks
Chris

Yokohama Geolandar AT - good bang for buck, not too stiff on the carcass which gives better float on the dunes than stiffer tyres like BFGs.

Kumho is the best among the options u listed; avoid chinese tires, dont gamble on tires

Must be one of the only sizes they don’t come in.... Bidgestones are fine, I run Dueller 840 on my Pajero just now, second set, no issues (265x60x18)... will be swapping to 16” rim though... probably go with geolandar for a change.

Must be an odd size... we run a Ford Edge Sport and there’s only a handful of options for it as it’s an odd size (22”).

Mornings,

Would give my vote to Geolander yet with Rims size is really hard to get, for offroad use would recommend smaller rim size however, as I recall cooper AT3 comes with big rims size.

Best of luck

Thanks guys,

I am looking at Cooper at the moment. They come in the sizes I can fit on my rims. I was thinking about changing the whole wheel, but it's double the investment.
