Default Bar Treads

Gday Harry,

Well sort of - these are 12.00 X 20's but in NATO bar tread pattern. They are a modern radial tyre.

Ive only ever used these on my truck. They also steer extremely well as in they dont have that old bar tread habit of wandering..

I live in a flatter part of Australia so the effect of a bigger tyre slowing her down when going up a decent ascent isnt a problem.

The brakes work fine (very well in fact) and when I did take the beast on a 16 hour epic to the coast, down some very steep descents, I simply selected a very low gear and kept it there.

Ive repeatedly had the steering on full lock and never had the tyres rub on anything.
