As for air, where will the air inside the tyres be kept? From the diagram, doesn't look like there is much space between plies and the rubber compound.The plies is covered by rubber. If can see the plies need to discard already.....

Huh? the air inside loh! Where the word "HALOBUTYL LINER" is. That is the internal chamber. The beads are where the rims will hold the tyres...As for air, where will the air inside the tyres be kept? From the diagram, doesn't look like there is much space between plies and the rubber compound.
I see. A very thin and narrow area. Now I learned more about tyre structure. More just a piece of rubber with steel belt filled with air.Huh? the air inside loh! Where the word "HALOBUTYL LINER" is. That is the internal chamber. The beads are where the rims will hold the tyres...
Aiyoh! the whole chamber leh......I see. A very thin and narrow area. Now I learned more about tyre structure. More just a piece of rubber with steel belt filled with air.
Ah this is what I want to hear, great! I think I might be getting either these or the Geolander. I'm not sure what is the treadwear rating for my toyo but for the past 20k KM, my car ate up quite a lot of my rubber lol. FWD + Turbo diesel isn't the very tyre friendly eh? Heavy right foot + occasional spirited driving could be the culprit.Did another 2 outstation runs, one last weekend and another this weekend. Tyres doing well. Part highway and part federal roads when highway was seen to be jammed up looking at waze.....lol
Love the federal routes more, able to have corners and having these wrangler with stiffer sidewall was better. Even on highway have less body rolls, but then again pothole road are bumpier.....
The Geolandar made for durability, threadwear 600 but traction B only. Wrangler Triplemax Threadwear 440, but Traction A. My daughter drives the Chery with the Geolandar now, and she quite likes them. Really durable, almost 20k km slightly worn only. When got time will take some pictures.Ah this is what I want to hear, great! I think I might be getting either these or the Geolander.

My car has been experiencing wheel spins and minor hydroplaning lately too, I guess it's due for a change.
Thanks for the comprehensive review btw, always love your posts!
Body roll is kinda inevitable in an SUV so i guess it's a plus to have the triplemax. I haven't got the chance to check out these tyres yet but I'm leaning more towards the triplemax due to the rugged groove and it's superior wet/dry handling.The Geolandar made for durability, threadwear 600 but traction B only.

The Forester with the Wrangler is driven by my wife. Even though slightly bumpier than the Conti, she prefers the more firm ride rather than softer with body roll....
The original tyres for the forester were Continental Passenger tyres MC5, that is why they are more comfy but plenty body roll. The triplemax more bumpy but less body roll, so pros and cons. Like you mention I also prefer less body roll, so I prefer the Triplemax over the MC5....Body roll is kinda inevitable in an SUV so i guess it's a plus to have the triplemax.

Anyways, do you know any place around KL where I can do light off road? Gravel/mud nothing close to rock crawling :rolleyes:
