Non Run Flat but * rated

Post by scz4 » Mon Apr 16, 2018 11:47 am

All,

Looking to fit new rear tyres, but can't find a decent option for 285 /45 19 * rated, but non run flat. Need the higher load rating since it's a 7 seater.

Will replace the fronts too if I go non run flat.

Any suggestions?

Graeme

I went through this exercise on here.  There aren't any is the short answer which have the load rating for the 7 seater.

The closest I can find after a recommendation is a Hankook Ventus on a staggered setup.

I too am looking to do this when my Duellers wear out as concrete tyres with zero sidewall give are not conducive to a decent ride, and yes I am aware it has sports suspension and so will inevitably be "firm" and jiggly.  Many run non * marked tyres over winter and have no problems.
