    Anyone got some tire advice? I want to go a little bigger than my current 245/65/17 for a bit of extra traction in the soft stuff, i’m thinking 275/75/17 perhaps, i also want a tire that can handle the wadi’s rocks and gravel. I’ve been looking at cooper and goodrich.

    cheers

    Over the number of years experience I would suggest you to keep stock tyres but with frequent replacments.
    Say about every 30,000 KMs interval.

    I use my vehicle for wadi, road and desert and recently I got All Terrain Nitto tires and got an excellent results in the wadi and pretty good in the sand. These are doing alright on the road also. The intended size you mentioned is the one that I got too. BTW which car are you driving cause you need to check whether it can take these tires or not.

    Hi there,
    I’m using Cooper Discoverer ATR and very happy with the performance, tires are not very hard or very soft they are good for wadi, desert and road.
