ALL Terrain suggestions.

I’ve put 96k so far on these Yokohama Geolander G12’s which is rather remarkable & there’s still some meat left on the bone.

But I’m gonna be in the market soon. Size is 235/60 R16

What’s good at the moment? Anything better?

I haven’t looked after them as well as I should have. I’ve only rotated them twice I think. Now they are louder than an Amaroks engine fan.

But technically they shouldn’t have lasted this long. I was told by a tyre guy that it’s because the vehicles weight is light on such a heavy tyre.

I'm still impressed with the Powertracs at the price.

but I see they don't have that size.... is that as big as you can go?

I’d go with Powertracs if they had my size. But it looks like they don’t.

Sadly don't own an offroader. It's too flat living on a small island.
