Yes I know the dreaded tyre topic. I am looking at replacing the currently warn Cooper S/T that I currently have on my 2002 Prado T/D that are on their last legs.
I'm not unhappy with the Cooper as I have achieved km on the set of five tyres with two major trips and only had one tyre that was about to let go but no punctures during the time I have had them.
However I feel that a less aggressive All Terrain tyre will suit me more at this stage.I have viewed previous post's on the forum and am keen to have an update on those who have the silent armours. Everything that I have read on them at this stage seem to point that they would would be worth a try. Also any comments to weather a lot out there have noticed a dramatic change in torque when towing up hills once they have changed from a 70 to a 75 series tyre size. I had noticed this change when I had changed from the standard grand trek to the coopers. Maybe it is a combination of both the pattern and the size, but I wouldn't have thought it would have had such an impact, even on the fuel consumption on average I would have reduced the kms travelled on both the tanks by 150-200km.
