Hi All... first confession - I'm a fresh Nav owner!
Been hunting though posts and found a bunch of info... but I want something specific to my situation!
Just picked up an '04 D22 ST-R Dual cab. Great condition, but it has some crappy Chinese Sailun Teramax H/T tyres on it!
I'm planning a big fishing trip to the Victorian high country, which will end up being around 2,000km on road and between 500-1000km off road.
While the current tyres have about 70% tread on them, I'm not confident that they'll hold up off road.
First does anyone have experience with Sailun tyres... pretty limited info around on the net!
I would much prefer to upgrade tyres, but my back pocket is still recovering from buying the Nav.
I have pretty limited options as I live in a rural town. Been given a choice of the following:
Bridgestone D697 265/70 R16 - $280 / corner
Goodyear Silent Armor 265/70/R16 - $330 / corner
Cooper S/T Maxx 265/75 R16 - $380 / corner.
Unless someone can tell me the Sailun's are much better than expected and will be fine, Mr Visa card is going to get a workout.
Anyone have experience with the above tyres?
I like the Cooper's but I'm concerned about them rubbing and affecting performance. Until I get some money in the piggy bank, she's pretty much a standard Nav.
