Continental tyres

[ozsnow]

Glad to hear that others are getting better wear rates. Agree they are a reasonable road tyre, only had a few slides with them this year on the snow and ice. If anyone is interested the truck is quite controllable in a slide and the longish wheelbase certainly helps. ABS works pretty well too!

Haven't had a chance to get them in the dirt but I am not expecting too much.

Before anyone asks, the alignment was checked at 4k as it was apparent then that the tyres were wearing fast.

I run about 35lb up front and 40lb to 45lb in the rear, depends on the load.

38 fr, 40 rr. Anything less and you rip the shoulders right off the tyres. FYI various brand of tyres on my last vehicle (S1 Discovery) lasted between 60 and 80 k. I haven't changed my driving style so you have to think the Conti's are s*&t.

I was looking at a D40 RX at the local dealer and instead of having Continentals they had.........Bridgestone Duellers made in Spain.........they were H/T 235/ 70 r 16 and were 30mm in diameter smaller..........made it about 20mm lower than with the continentals.........how do they get away with doing that????.....bastards
