They don’t air down a whole lot on a 9ton rig either! Point was that you don’t want an extremely hard A/T tire; durable yes, with some pliability yes.

A/T’s are more durable than street compound, but you don’t want the A/T too hard else they won’t grip at street pressure or when aired down (case in point my Michelin XZL’s or Continental MPT81’s—both military tires, yet when aired down they don’t grip terrain like a Toyo OpenCountry AT3 does)...

Agreed. Re milking money from Porsche owners, by not looking at the costs of new Porsche option, you’ll “keep your lunch.” Back to overland stuff…

Ha! Have you bought a new Porsche recently? LMK what you think about the prices of all the options. 🤡 Let’s see more pics of overlandy Porsche’s…

Hehe… Porsche wanted better tires for each model than what was available off the shelf. Think of it as a special sauce tire which they’d pay the tire mfr’s for, in order to extract THAT much more performance/safety from the vehicle. Those German’s…...

I believe N0, N1, etc spec? Means Porsche paid Michelin or other mfr $$$ to develop a tire specifically for X Porsche model. Curious to hear why a Porsche rated vs non-Porsche rated A/T is important to clarence.

Awesome!

Eager to see which overlandy stuff you add to this, specifically in the tire realm. Curious what type of off-pavement terrain you plan to be on?

Spotted this weekend. Looking hott!

Would be eager to see this. Quite a few limitations with the newer rigs unfortunately.

LOLers, thx for the feedback and pics guys. Will advise how the MPT81s do for me on my cross country drive west. I’ve thought about immediately moving from 3pc Hutchinson forged aluminum beadlock to 1pc Wehring or Buckstop forged aluminum so they might be easier to have serviced when needed...

Weird. How many miles and how much tread thickness/life did you have on them? Only driven ER43 for 25min on hwy and country roads, MPT81s at more than half life remaining, rig drives straight as an arrow at 60mph (no hands on wheel), no wandering, no vibes, some expected tire noise but nothing...

Yeah, let’s have a look. 🤓

You’re a bad influence in many ways…

Thx. I’m thinking Petlas RM910s are my next tire vs Conti MPT81. I will say on my test drive on hwy and country roads, I was pretty impressed by lack of frustrating noises. Could definitely feel the rear end weight vs F350/Aterra, but since I’m used to Michelin XZL’s and 60mph on the J159, I’ll...

Can you share with us all?

LOL. Not looking anymore, already satisficed—see sig. I hadn’t shared yet with you as I knew I’d be mocked. Ready to eat crow though, hehe. And I agree it’s heavier than I’d like, but I’ve had to accept that save for the $5xxK+ Truckhouse BCR, the industry doesn’t give 2 shiiiiiiiits for being...

Bump for this gorgeous and rare (SC!) ER, from an awesome seller!!

In my research, there are some true winter tires available for 19.5” and 22.5” wheels (like Alcoa super single); Continental HDW2 and Bridgestone W919. One issue though is that the Alcoa is a 10x285.75mm when the Ford F550 for example is 10x225mm rear (and also the same 10x225mm up front with...

Anyone having issues with Buckstop 1pc forged 20” wheels for MPT tires? Thinking about them (vs Wehring 1pc forged Hutchinson) for a rig…
