No, screw that - if you had a set of them and you managed to wear all 1/2" of tread in 24k miles then tell me about it. Can you give me more details than that please?

Hey guys, Can you help me? I am hopping across from one forum to another in order to do the following: There is a lot of information about tyres out on the interweb, but there is very little about tyre wear rates - which I think is something that would be of a great deal of importance if you are taking the time to choose what rubber to shod your wheels with! Here is what I am asking: If you can spare the time, and have the info, could you reply with the following: Your Tyre make & model (Remould Y/N) Your Tyre size Your Car Off road:On road ratio (i.e. 10:90, 40:60 etc...) Date installed (and removed*) New tread depth* Current tread Tyre life (actual or projected on wear rate) * If applicable or available Any input would be appreciated, try and keep it all reasonably accurate and perhaps we could get some interesting results! This is what we have so far:

Current sample size 8 with 4 tyre types.

Can either of you help out with another thread here? I am desperately trying to get more data on tyre wear. Thanks

Thanking you! Please come again.

Can any of you AT2 owners please have a look at this thread and share any info? Much obliged!

Added, thank you. Where are all you General AT2, Cooper STT and ST and Goodyear Wrangler MT/R users (to name a few)?

Makes sense now! This is the sort of thing I am hoping on producing, except with more data, obviously!

Thanks sgnas, first datas! Here, have a cigar... Is that 1 mile on road for every 99 off road for a frontera on ATs?!

I'll be getting some new tyres at the end of the year so I will doing the same. I am hoping that there are a few people, somewhere, that can help out to get it started! The idea is to get some ball park figures published which people can use as a guide. There is a duplicate thread that I started on the tyre section of another popular 4x4 forum which should expand the sampling somewhat.

All: Some interest then. It sounds like we could make a day of this then! My wife and I are going away until the end of next week, but we could arrange a day following that. Does anyone have any date preferences after 17 Aug? Chris: I have read of a few pay-n-play sites around here, namely Baldhu and Wendron. But these are unconfirmed and I don't know of anyone who has used them and when they are open (I have contacted neither for details).

I have already ruined the paint work when on a lane in New Forest before we moved! I still haven't polished them out... I have managed to find 5 or 6 on the whole of the OS map that we can drive (after cross-checking with the online ROW on Cornwall Council website). Might have a look in a week or two!

Maybe it is just safer to underestimate my own abilities!

Do you have any photos of your winch set up? Mile Marker?

Does anyone know of any good green lanes in Cornwall? I have recently moved down here and keen to get out and do some greenlaning. I have noticed a few posts about Baldhu and Wendron pay and play sites; but I think they might be a bit much for my standard 90! Come on, any ideas? Anyone?!

I agree. It should be pink.

Checked, nothing there. It doesn't sound as "sharp" as a stone in the tyre.

Has anyone any experience with a clicking noise that isn't dependent on engine RPM? It is just noticeable at road speeds below 40 MPH at low engine speed. At first I thought it was valve clearances, but there seems to be no frequency variation with RPM. I have had a look at the rear prop and the UJs seem ok; they were greased in December, so could probably do with another application, but there was about 1/4 - 3/8" of axial movement on the prop (play in the transfer box and diff?) is that normal?! Any ideas? There is some evolution gear oil on the way from a certain online supplier of 4x4 consumables, so I'll see if that helps. Edit: Sorry, 300TDI - R380 and LT230

Do have a lift on that? Is there any rubbing on articulation? Cheers for that. What sort of wear rates have you experienced?

Does anyone know what size MT/Rs are fitted on to the G4 110s? The tyres on my 90 have about 3mm remaining and are on freestyles. I am thinking about a set of MTs this year but I am not too sure to go for 75s or 85s. I am err-ing towards 85s; has anyone got a photos or suggestions to help me make my mind up? I also want to get rid of my spare wheel cover and get a 5th alloy (hence wanting to find a breakers in the area in another post!)

Does that have any suspension? It seems there are three ways of going: Leaf - a la Sankey Torsion Bar - a la most trailer on the planet Fixed - a la, well, I don't know!

Needed a bit of TLC then!
