    traveling the tanami track

    super singles are from all terrain warrior, there 385/65 22.5R, in this size theres not a lot of options for choice, if i go the next size up mitchellin offer a more aggressive tread pattern but not sure if they'll scrub out or not, so far I'm pretty happy with what i have but would prefer a...

    traveling the tanami track

    yes a new trailer is on the mind, a more heavy duty robust trailer for sure hahaha, this trailer was originally built in the 70's (was given to me from the old man), only the floor and side walls have been replaced, still original frame so I'm surprised it lasted as long as it did. i think this...

    traveling the tanami track

    i know it is used frequently by road trains a lot and the condition of the road changes, just reading reports on the net its very mixed as some say it was great and others have said that it was bone jarring. i guess ill just let pressure down to round 80 to start of with and sit on 60km/hr and...
