Nissan Patrol 4x4 (Africa)

@ Stefan

Ooi . What are MT's for the unanitiated ?

Nick it is Mud Terrain Tires.

AAAAhhh . Thanks . My vocab and 4x4 jargon progresses . I think I've got what looks like something that can handle muddy terrain on . They pretty noisy on tar roads . Not so bad on dirt . But then I spend much much more time on dirt than tar . Very nice occupational hazard to have been blessed with . Ps : I sell (try ) Farms esp Game farms .

Jip. The MT on your tires is for mud terrain. Your car has got some nice tekkies on.

The best all terrain tire stays a MT if the nose bothers you turn up the radio or slow down to 120km/h and enjoy the view....

neeeeeeee wat Tinus, as die neus pla smyt ik die poeper uit .. netso

How long do those M T tyres last ? Like in when should I open a seperate savings acc for new ones ?!!!!!

On a patrol with combined use about 100000km .....my km2 on my 4.8 has 70 000 on them ....on my hilux 80 percent tar 20 % bad bush 170163 looks like im going to make 180000 .....but you pump them 3 bar cold and rotate and balance every 5000km ....lets not start the tire thing again
A hilux has no weight compared to a patrol ....but i load mine heavy 90% off the time is a personal thing .....must look the part and works better in all fassets ...
BUT
They are noisy

Thanks Tinus . I think I understand the aversion to an all out tire firefight . Sounds like the previous owner did me a huge favour my fitting my MT's .
