Trying to get Duratracs for my new 110 P400e, but it appears they are not for sale in Europe in speed index t (<=190 km/h).

Doesn't anyone in this thread have this problem with the speed index?

 

WhT sre my tire options for 22inch rims?

 

While switching tires and rims, which tpms is everyone installing on the new rims they buy?

​

 

Why wouldn’t you leave that up to the tire store? Best choice is to just swap the sensors from the OEM wheels to the new wheels. But if you want to keep the OEM sensors and wheels together, then let the store that mounts the new tires to the new wheels choose the new TPMS sensors and mount them. That way, it’s their responsibility to make them work or replace them with ones that do. If you show up and hand them TPMS sensors and they don’t work, guess who pays to unmounted the tires and install new ones.

 

I finally bought a set of Toyo AT3s today. Just looking for better winter traction without sacrificing too much in highway comfort. No lift. This tire is a P-metric with XL load rating and speed rated 117T. Size 275/55/20, and as noted by many others it fits, no issues. No lift, no spacers, no trimming inside of wheel wells.

 

Looking good Jolly Rancher! Which OEM tires did you start out with? It would be great to hear how your experience is with the Toyo AT3's are compared to stock - handling, noise, ride, grip, off-road, etc.

 

Search for some of my prior experience with these, have 15K on them at this point. TLDR version is great tire just make sure in winter to set the Defender on light load as the stock recommendation caused terrible snow traction on these. Lower pressure better.

 

I had the OE AT option Good Year All Terrain Adventures. They were ok in light snow but very sub-par in deeper snow/slush/ice. Pretty quiet on the highway, but of course they don't have a very aggressive tread pattern. I decided last winter that I'd consider my options and make a decision before another winter season. I don't do any really serious off-roading, so I didn't want to put an LT tire on the Defender. It's a unibody vehicle, and I wanted to make the most of that aspect of the engineering on-road. The BFG in this size is an LT tire, so that was a no for me. Others I looked at were Cooper ATs and Nittos. I ran repeat sets of Toyo AT2s on my previous vehicle, so I was a bit slanted in that direction already. I'm in Seattle, so not the serious snow of you folks in the Rockies, but we do get up into the mountains quite a bit in winter and have to drive unplowed trails.

I'll post a review once I get some miles and diff weather on them.

 

Good to know. Thanks for the heads-up! I'll play around with the air pressure and see what works.

 

I just bought the 1.5” PR rods from Lucky8. They recommended gy duratrac 275/55/20 for these stock 5 spoke in the picture below. Can anyone confirm no rubbing on control arm from the added width. I believe them but there are too many horror stories on here for me. I am looking for aggressive and big without modding beyond lifting rods.
