For my Trips like Transafrica, south america and europe I did use an MT Tyre, the Cooper STT 285 / 70 / R17
As long they are not aged, they was ok in Snow, good on roads and very good a muddy terrain. Rated till 99.4 mp/h (160 km/h). But unfortunately they are end of life.
Also with my decent offroad usage - over the past 8 years and 68000 miles, too many roads was used.
The next Plan is to driver the Transsibiria, the northern path compared to the silkroad. There I will hit roads like the BAM / ROB Video which may be harder than the stuff I did in the past.
What tyre would you mount for tracks like this?
Depending from the wheelbase my car is a bit to big and heavy for that purpose, but because of the availability of spares tyres in remote ares - I probably should stay with 33" on 17" Rims.
Definitively it has to be an MT, also if there is maybe 50% road on that journey.
My Cooper STT are end of life
New there are available: Cooper STT Pro or Cooper MTT Evolution. This is the Tyre Pattern von the MT Evolution:
Does anyone has used this tyre? What tyre would you use for that purpose?
