Nuwe Tekkies!!!

Post by OOOOMS »

So I won't bore you with the Bridgestone Mudz cr@p tyres, the salesman advised would get 60 000km minimal....... :thumbdown: :thumbdown: :thumbdown: Only 18 000km.... :thumbdown: Never again :aggresive:

Anyway back to trusty BF's this time as the Tuna has had em on for almost 97 000km's and still 4mm thread on 'em. That suits me just down to the ground :thumbup:

For those my X tyres were 245 / 75 / 16 and new ones 265 / 75 / 16's.
Here is a comparison of the two wheels next to each other and have a look at the difference in seize. Quite huge :thumbup:

Rear before measured 76.3cm (before) and 78cm (after) with the BFs
Before:

Front bumper from ground, before: 58.3cm and after 62cm

Glo dit maar, die OOOOMS jok nie.
Nuut het hulle 12mm thread op en myne het nou 4mm thread op. Hulle sal seker nog 15 - na 20 000km doen. Nog nooit 'n puncture gehad nie. :cooldude:

I was wondering more about the back of the front wheel arch than the front edge .... hopefully it remains clear on articulation / braking as well. :thumbup:

Great, but a specific reason it is only AT now and not muds again?

Lyk netjies. Onthou net om jou volg afstand groter te maak. Veral op 'n nat pad

Voorheen het my speedo so 4km/h orrgelees op 120. Ek het nog nie tyd gahad om dit te toets nie maar neem aan hy sal nou amper 100% reg weea.

Nee wat Cas, met die Muds het he geslip en slide en die bande squeek om elke draai so erg dat ander mense se koppe gedraai het om te sien wat gaan aan.

Nou is als lekker stil. Ek het al 3 jaar BF oppi Tuna en hy stop op 'n tiekie, droog en baie goed in die nat, beter as die mudz :wink2:
