LOST JEEPS :: View topic

I ran across a test that 4WD Monthly did on a wide range of A/T tyres. Using a Hilux. Here is the summary table at the end of the test:

Some tyres that were strong in most areas only needed to perform poorly in a couple of tests to drop down the overall list. For this reason, I have added one chart showing each tyre’s off-road performance separately from each tyre’s overall performance, which paints a different picture. I won’t beat around the bush. The Pirelli Scorpion was the best A/T by a country mile. It was just as good off-road as it was on it and excelled everywhere. While it didn’t win every section, to our surprise, it came bloody close. The BFGs and Pirellis performed well in the tougher conditions, but the Cooper showed the most bite, just edging out the Pirelli in the off-road section of the test.

Link to the Test article: http://www.4wdmonthly.com.au/tips_tyres.php That article is about 3 years old now, many tyres have been updated, ie the pirelli is new, the bridgie has a LT option and their a brand new yoko as well.
