Tyres ( Not again! )

i ran the 694 A/Ts on my Landrover Discovery and absolutely loved them! I replaced Cooper A/T's with them and was very impressed. they performed extremely well in soft sand, didn't wear much at all (less than the coopers) and were quieter than the Coopers as well.

i paid $205ea for mine, but they were 245/60/R16 and i believe the 120s run 265/65/R17s which no doubt would cost more.

i'd recommend them again easily. quite an aggresive tread which worked wonders off road, but also gripped well in the wet on the blacktop. a great A/T tyre.

Hi Capt,

The $280 is Bridgestones book price. Bought some recently in Brisbane for $260 (union shopper and RACQ discounts). My nissan came standard with the 693's and these tyres now reside on the trailer. The diff between these tyres as far as looks go is quite huge the 694 looks more like an A/T (bigger and deeper tread) but I have no complaints about either.

Kind regards

There was a thread about them on LCOOL a while ago.
Looks like the tire compound in 17" tires are softer compared to 16"
tires... Which means less K's out of them... At least this was a case with the first lot. They are not LT tire as well, so easy sidewall punctures... Otherwise they shoyuld have very good dry/wet handling quiet and have good grip on muddy stuff...

G'day Capt,

I've had a set of 694s on my Pajero DiD for some months now. Very happy. Reasonably quiet, no balance problems, steers well. No real rock work but travelling quickly on gravel roads has been good. Did the Border track over the sand hills without any major drama. Only had them down to about 22-24lbs and got over where other vehicles had some difficulty.

Regards
Mark
