What kind of millage can one expect?
Hi. I dive a Jeep Grand Cherokee, live in South Africa, and most of my driving on road. I need off-road reliability as well due to the areas I visit. How will the tyre affect my insurance? How well does it perform on the road? What is the road noise?
Hello Etienne, i wouldn’t know much about the insurance aspect. However, this tire performs just great on road and off road but you could type in “off-road tires” or “all terrain tires” into our search box to see more reliable options.
Thanks Francesca. I’ll do so. The options for 265/50R20 are very limited for AT or off-road tires. The Apollo’s are the first AT’s I’ve found – hence my interest.
You are most welcome. Glad to help and i hope you find a good tire in the size you want from the article.
