What off road tyres do you use

[R1100]

I want to change my tyres for a more all terrain biased tyres but keep my 19inch rims.  I am mostly on slippery muddy tracks and grass with the occaisional gloopy bit.

 

Can you advise your choice of all terrain tyre or at least a tyre that can cope with the above.  My stock Hankooks are ok but do struggle at times

 

Thanks

You gonna need some M+S (mud + snow) tyres.

But it`s not easy to find 19" all season tyres.

At least Continental, Nokian and Goodyear do not produce such sizes.

All terrain are different to all season.

Try maxxis, general or cooper, and you might get lucky as they tend to do quite a range that other manufacturers don't do

Perhaps take a look at Michelin CrossClimates - suitable for light off-road use and available in 235/50R19 - https://www.michelin.co.uk/tyres/michelin-crossclimate-suv

hmm, very limited options, I had Cross Climate on another 4x4 and it never felt properly planted, so not sure I want to go back there.

 

Anyone know what they put on the Scout models?

The same as every other.

Your best choice seems to be to go for all season (M+S) tyres.

Michelin CrossClimate

Pirelli Scorpion Verde

Vredestein Quatrac 5

 

Or Vredestein Geolandar A/T  G015, which is pretty serious all terrain tyre, but you have to make a compromise in wheel size: they only make 235/55/19

The Yokohama Geolander are good onroad and not bad AT's offroad, i have used them on a Yeti on 16" Rims and on a Jimny on 15's.

 

But for a Kodiaq to get All Terrains that are good in mud i think you need to go for 225 tyres with a higher profile or go for 18" rims and AT's.

I had G012  AT-S,  as is standard fitment for road use on the Ariel Nomad.  For offroad they have Yokohama Mud Tyres.

 

 

 

 

I have BF Goodrich A/T's, KM2's & Mud tyres for my Jimny.

But on my V8 Automatic 110 i had BF Goodrich A/T's and for the road and towing they were good, in snow and mud and even slippy grass just rubbish really compared to the like of Cooper A/Ts.

Either the Hankook Ventus S1 Evo SUV or the Pirelli Scorpion Verde.

I really miss my Defenders but they aren't as good for long distance. Had Cooper's AT3 on my last one which were better imho than the BFG ATs UI had before.

 

Interesting that the Scout uses either the same Hankooks I use or the pirelli. Never had perelli Scorpion Verde.

 

Need to think about this. Thanks for the replies

I swapped from a 110 Defender on Cooper STTs to a 2011 Octi Scout. It came with Hankook icept evo2's - a snow tyre.  I do a lot of driving on farm tracks, back roads and the odd foray into fields. I was cautious how the tyres would perform, but having just swapped them for a the same again after 45,000 miles of varied driving I would suggest a look at them, unless you like leaving braking from speed to the last minute.  Fuel economy is good (45+mpg unless on short runs).  Towed a 1.4 tonne trailer through a wet grassy field lambing field (notoriously greasy) last spring without any hit of slippage. Coming from a Defender, I am impressed with how it has performed. You are looking at £100-110/tyre in 225/55R17, not sure about your sizes. I leave them on all year round - the cost of having a second set of tyres/rims is equal to the alleged fuel saving, but I don't have to swap them and lose lots of room in an already crowded garage. Hope that helps.

Did you come to any conclusions?
