Alex, How did you find the KL71's?.... You had them on Witblits I think

Dis iets wat gepuzzle het vir baie jare, nouer bande geen meer PSI drukking op die teer, Fat Takkies gee minder. Dis logies. Jou voertuig se gewig woord oor 'n groter oppervlakte versprei, so dit moet minder wees.Peter Connan wrote: ↑19 Jan 2018 05:46
1) Hoe meer rubber die pad raak, hoe minder druk is daar omdat die gewig van die voertuig oor 'n groter area versprei word. Die twee kanseleer mekaar presies uit.
I solved that dilemma by getting a second set of rims and tyres; one set with Muds and a second set with ATRs. At the same time, I went from 265/70 x 16s to 265/70 x 17s on both sets on my Patrol. Each set has 5 rims and tyres.
But there is a much easier solution. Have 2 Patrols. One with AT's and 1 with MT's....mvcoller wrote: ↑19 Jan 2018 17:23I solved that dilemma by getting a second set of rims and tyres; one set with Muds and a second set with ATRs.

But OH, what a job to change wheels at home, even with two trolley jacks... and you can't take it down to TWT quickly to change, you can't fit enough tyre/rim combinations in the vehicle.....
The GQ (Y60) was definitely the best looking vehicle in the lineup....
