Insa tyres

[Bush Tucker Man]

Despite having looked with great interest at the thread on General Grabber AT2's,
I'm  hopefully not  going to be in the market for a set of new tyres for the 110 for another 5-10,000 miles, based on present wear-rates

Presently it's on the (presumed original?) BF Goodrich AT's, and is showing circa 64,000 miles

I guess the most logical (long-lasting) solution when the time comes is to just get another set of BFG 'AT' fitted


However, the recent product by Insa, the 'Turbo Traction' takes my eye, as I always liked the 'Trac-Edge'

Obviously the wear-rate will be greater than a new tyre, but what's the consensus of opinion on Insa's??
Do they last?
Are they easy to balance, or do they need a pound of lead on the wheel-rim?
Not liable to the tread peeling off the carcass?


Now, if anyone's got a (potentially) libellous story about them, PM me, don't add it on here!!

i have had the insa sahara's fitted on the last 3 of my trucks.....i have no complaints what so ever with them....i have had problems with other makes but not the insa's

Got insa's on my disco and cant fault them at all  even after last nights heavy braking in the torrential rain on the M6 when a dutch registered artic pulled into my lane with out indicating,  stopped nicely without any fuss   not like  a set of colways I had fitted in the past where they wouls have slid all over the shop

I have had Insa Dakars on my Disco for about 18 months. They have covered approx 15000mls, and arnt even 1/4 worn yet. No probs balancing them either.

My Disco isnt standard, and i dont drive like an old man. I have an Allisport full width intercooler fitted, and all the other mods they recommend.  So theres plenty of power there.

Even in the wet, theyare nice and grippy. And also off-road. I have recommended them to freinds too. And so far no complaints.

When they do eventually wear out, i will be going for them again.  :lol: :lol:

Thanks guys, but as I said...........

Hopefully the 'Turbo-Traction' will be available as a 235/85 by then?

So, it might be another year before I need new tyres, as it only covered 4,700 miles between MoT tests! (& I'm driving it even less at the moment)
