    Noticing a bit of noise now, depends on road surface, but I reckon I can put up with it.
    Hey Bazza, after 6 month on those cooper, how do you find them? Noise, mileage etc? Thanks.

    I'm looking at upgrading from the stock 16" rims to some used Amarok 17" rims, but I'm not finding a lot of all-terrain tyres in the right kind of profile.

    What good options have you found so far?

    Or is it better to stay on the 16" rims?

    Hi Wintrmute, may I suggest checking your Insurance? No use modifying and then finding out you have no insurance because you have the wrong tyre/wheel on to what the Vehicle Specs are.....could be costly!

    Both are 5x120 but offset is different?
    I have 17” ronals on my van with All terrain tyres.

    I have these tyres. So far, so good but not confident I’ll see more that 30,000kms.

    How have they gone for you?

    Another bubble in a Hankook RA23, midtread. That's 3 or so over the years.Maybe 20K on it. Did some recent dirt road driving, some rocks etc, but still, not impressed.
    Can't find the receipt or remember where i got it, so it goes back as the spare.

    The bank statement is also your proof of purchase, so I’d find the Hankook dealer and get the tyre replaced for free.

    Have had the hankook dynapro HP 235/55/17 (vw wheels) for about 40,000kms so far and should see another 5-10 out of them.

    Looking at going to ATs or HTs next set of tyres for the look. Does anyone know the max you can go on a 2wd on 17s for that bigger look? Without affecting drive train too much? Better to go back to 16s or stay on 17s? Curious of people’s thoughts/experiences
    Looking at probably Coopers

    Cheers

    I don’t recall what’s the max size, but if only for looks, the 17” will give you better ride, less body roll around the corners.

    Just replaced the std wheels/tyres with a set of Coopers ATT 235/60/17 on CSA Ranger rims, great improvement in ride and handling, hoping to get the 60,000k's they advertise.
