bowie Posted October 25, 2005 Share Posted October 25, 2005 getting a bit baffled about options for jeep tyres, think I want Bargrip, but where can I get some cheap? Bowie :?: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whistlinwolf Posted October 25, 2005 Share Posted October 25, 2005 Check out the classifieds section , Spartacus has some bar grips, look good and the price is right as well. Tim(1) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oddball Posted October 25, 2005 Share Posted October 25, 2005 While we are on the subject of tyres, I have been thinking of changing mine to bargrips (on block treads at the moment) I've heard tell that bargrips don't grip as well in the mud, has anyone done the dirty stuff with both types & can say which is better?

whistlinwolf Posted October 25, 2005 Share Posted October 25, 2005 We have had fun off road with Bar grips and found them good, they are lousy on winter tarmac though as my ditch finding excursion is testament to. Tim(1) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bowie Posted October 26, 2005 Author Share Posted October 26, 2005 thanks Whislinwolf & Oddball, now much better informed, and in contact with Spartacus. Does anybody make a radial tyre that looks like a bargrip crssply? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oddball Posted October 26, 2005 Share Posted October 26, 2005 in contact with Spartacus. Glad you've managed to find Spartacus, no one else has yet :lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
demon Posted October 26, 2005 Share Posted October 26, 2005 I don't think anyone makes a radial bar grip. The Norweigns use a good tyre for their jeeps, I drove on them in the snow when I was over there, they perform really well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oddball Posted October 26, 2005 Share Posted October 26, 2005 Looks interesting, do you know what make they are? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
demon Posted October 26, 2005 Share Posted October 26, 2005 No but I can ring Frank later and find out..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Karoshi Posted October 26, 2005 Share Posted October 26, 2005 For pure low speed Off-Road ability, I'd stay with the Bar Grips personally. However for wet weather steering control on Tarmac, use anything else! I trailled a jeep for some years, bargrips only bettered by dumpers. Anyways the Tyre Police will 'av you with a WW2 looking jeep on anything but Bar grips. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Personally I don't pay too much attention to them, not getting stuck in a swamp in the middle of nowhere is more important. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Karoshi Posted October 26, 2005 Share Posted October 26, 2005 Yeah right. BIG problem in urban Newbury. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oddball Posted October 26, 2005 Share Posted October 26, 2005 Lot of places to get stuck around here I can tell you & that's not just when the traffic lights stop working on the Robin Hood roundabout either! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
demon Posted October 26, 2005 Share Posted October 26, 2005 Looks interesting, do you know what make they are? I've just got an email back from Frank the Viking about those tyres. They were first made by Askim gummivare fabrikk in Norway, and later the same pattern was made by Vredestein. They are not available in Norway anymore :cry: .

demon Posted October 26, 2005 Share Posted October 26, 2005 Is that a La Maltournee jeep. Looks like there was a small data plate on the top left corner of your glove box. Do you have this plate? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oddball Posted October 27, 2005 Share Posted October 27, 2005 Why are you selling the jerry cans & wire cutter then? Better to keep them surely? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
