Tyres in African heat
Hi everybody,
I was out to buy tyres today, for the Suzuki Jimny. Getting set for the Atlantic route in W-Africa. I could choose between Michelin, Bridgestone (which was originally under the car) and Dunlop.
Michelin is everyone's favorite, but there was one story that worries me. It was said that the Michelin steel inside the tyre can't stand too much heat (the rubber will get loose, or something like that). And it will surely be hot in the Western sahara in July... That's why some prefer the nylon instead of the steel, which is supposedly inside the Bridgestone and Dunlop.
Sales men tales?! Ignorance on my part? You name it, but can anybody help me choose?
Thanx!
