ConFuso sagt I also tested a car with tyres like they are used in Australia and that was a very great difference, so such tyres are a solution. But the australian tyres have a too low load-index. Olly used in the US similar tyres but with a sufficient load-index and said that they perhaps are soon available in EU. Olly, do you have further information? Have a great day Helmut

Hi Helmut, technically they should be available in Europe since May, but unfortunately I wasn't able to get hold on these tires yet. The - apparently - only distributor in Germany first took my order, but didn't deliver them to me and now after 4 months told me, they refuse to order them for me. ???? I contacted the manufaturer and hope to get any information where to buy them, but right now I don't now how to get them. Cheers, Olly

ConFuso sagt Hi Branko, this time unfortunately i‘ll not be there. I just come back from my journey at end of october ???? But Olly will be there and he has the DFF/Marquart-Solution and perhaps Toni from Traunstein will be there, he is the guy with the australian tyres. So you can try by yourself and see the difference. What i have ever in my mind that Toni drove with a 50km/h-speed over a sidewalk-edge and nothing happend. All the best Helmut

Enjoy your trip and be safe. See you somewhere some place !!

ConFuso sagt Hi Branko, so i think you have the same comfort-problemes like most of us. I drive a Continental HD3 and that is similar to your Hankook and so the problems are similar. But good to know, that this setting is working great in sand. Our rubber suspension blocks are as short as possible and i have 3.7bar in front-tyres and 6.5bar in rear-tyres on normal roads. That depends on a table from Continental and our weight, which is nearly the same like yours. We have Marquart-shok-absorbers and original springs. I tested a car with DFF&Marquart-parts and i felt only a little, but no significant difference. I also tested a car with tyres like they are used in Australia and that was a very great difference, so such tyres are a solution. But the australian tyres have a too low load-index. Olly used in the US similar tyres but with a sufficient load-index and said that they perhaps are soon available in EU. Olly, do you have further information? Have a great day Helmut

Hi Helmut, Very interesting to see your experiences and I agree, probably we have more or less the same (dis) comfort level. Will you also be in Stockstadt half September ? Greetz Branko

ConFuso sagt Hi Branko, thanks for your detailed information! How is the driving-comfort with theese tyres on tracks or streets with many and deep potholes? Since yersterday i‘m driving together with a Bimobil Sprinter EX365 and on very bad roads where they are driving with about 30-40km/h, i‘m far under 20km/h, because you dont hold out otherwise. Did you change anything at your springs or shock-absorber?
vriendelijke groeten
Helmut

I still have the Fuso standard suspension, only Kunzmann made some small modifications to improve comfort on bad roads. But the comfort level is still not perfect and I am considering the DFF / Marquart solution. On bad roads we did an average of approx 25km/h, check if your free space above your rubber suspension blocks is approx 30 mm with a fully loaded vehicle. What helps is lowering the tire pressure, especially the front ones because the original leaf suspension is very ridged. But on stone roads don't go below 3.5 - 4 bar for the front tires, otherwise you will damage them too fast. All the best Branko
