The knowledge and technology that is needed for making a tyre for on-road performance and off-road purposes can be far removed from each other as making a running shoe and a pair of wellingtons.
As 4x4s become a popular choice of vehicle on the roads today, 4x4 tyres have to strike a balance in both fields. To find out which of 2019’s 4x4 tyres does it best, we have assembled seven competitors from Bridgestone, Dunlop, Falken, Goodyear, Hankook, Maxxis, and Nexen to find out.
Find out how each tyre performs in greater detail and who takes the title at www.whichcar.com.au/article-s...

It's been 2 months and still no reply to this comment. Come on guys, can you explain to us why you left off the main tyres everyone uses? I know you won't want to reply to silly comments on here, but can you at least reply to the main question which is why were these other brands not included. Please tell me it has nothing to do with who paid to be on featured on this video and who did not. Regards Ben

I was able to get a great deal on the Hankooks dynapros. Fantastic tyre so far after 10000kms, with low road noise and decent enough off road capabilities I'm stoked. Awesome vid team!

The 697 LT - we use them in the Pilbara and will shred a set in 20000km which takes 4 - 5 weeks being run 24/7. We’ve tried a lot of brands and out here these things have proved insanely strong.

I have the Falken and Bridgestone D697 and the Bridgestone are worse then BFGs in the wet. Like driving on ice, the Falkens are fantastic and bag well at low psi, I would place them at the top when consider how well the perform after 50,000km

I am always a bit sceptic when the price has influence on the overall rating of a tire. Damage to the vehicle is almost every time more expensive than the difference between the cheapest and the most expensive set of tires. There are other factors too, it desn't help it a tire costs half of another if you have to replace it twice as often, or if it can't hold up to it's weight, or speed rating ect. Or if looses its performance. I had cheap (road) tires once, and in the first summer, they were as good as more expensive ones, in the second summer they got unbearably loud and scary in wet conditions. So i had to replace them way earlier than any other tires i had.

What an abysmal comparison. Are these just the companies that paid you to compare their tyres. An absolute waste of anyone's time that takes their 4x4 offroad...

Hello, thank you for your great contributions, you are very professional, it is very helpful. I have a very important question, I drive the new Hyundai Tucson built in 2021 all-wheel drive. Which tire would you recommend for the hot summer with dimensions 235/55/18. I drive a lot on the road on asphalt when it's very hot. michelin crossClimate 2 - 235 55 18 or Bridgestone Dueler All Terrain AT002 - 235/55 R18. Thank you. Best regards

BFG are the go to tyre for all UK landrover lovers but I want to know if there are any better tyres now. I have heard that Maxxis tyres need alot of wheel balancing due to issues with manufacture so ai will be avoiding them.

@andrewford80 Жыл бұрын

The world has moved on from BFGs now. Maxxis anecdotally perform much better, particularly in the wet.

@Naessey 4 жыл бұрын

I always try to be constructive with my reviews, however found it hard with this one. The criteria of the tyre wasn’t set out and most reviewers class by road, hybrid and off road along with durability, grip and cost. Also, no BFG and those liked by the 4x4 clubs. You could have made this three parts with taking into account how customers use their tyres.
