[QUOTE="dazza513, post: 146057, member: 3800"] True bias tyres are a pita everywhere except in real bad off road situations, poor handling, big flat spots eveytime you leave it parked for more than a few hours... no punctures but in truth after around 10,000ks I'd had enough of them. A good compromise is large m/t light truck tyres fitted on the smallest recommended rim width, eg 33 x 12.5 muddies that make their max load weight at low pressure say 35psi on only a 8inch wide rim instead of 10inch rim. A set up like that has me running 25 psi in the front and only 30 psi in the rear whilst fully loaded on or off road, lots of tyre flex offroad and virtually no punctures compared to 31 x 10.5 a/t needing as much as 60psi max load getting lots of sidewall punctures at 45psi. Yes I know muddies can be a bit noisy but I've found some of the cheaper brands are not as aggressive with their tread design so they are not to noisy and have given very good mileage for their $price, maxxis bighorns 60,000-80,000ks, federal coragia? around 60,000k.
