Wow Mohd what a nice waterfall and you are indeed lucky to enjoy it, in my last visit I haven't seen one inspire of lot of attempts. One of my friend just came back last week from salalah and advise that you should also enjoy the best and fresh pomegranate of this season, which should be available now. Sid, don't drive in night as I did that mistake once accidentally and totally regret it, go with Mohd suggestion and another advise to not to eat full stomach while long distance boring drive. And also get full 8-10 hrs sound sleep before driving if you are attempting in one shot - 12 hrs stretch. Abbas, welcome aboard and enjoy salalah, due to some unavoidable circumstances i have to drop out. Do keep us posted and share some nice pics and videos

Congrats @Abdul Basit Khan on posting your first trip. You have done very good job in not only thinking but materializing this coastline exploration trip. I am sure with all good intent and good company we will have great fun. Everyone please RSVP on below calendar:

Good man, then Saleem will be very interested and will also become good friend with you. Right @shadow79....? lol

Damn, in that case I don't think @shadow79 will be interested.

@Ren13 does this mod can work without engine oil too.....?

Known resellers like Divya, Dhanya, Majelan, Sindabad, Ayash etc. are just fine to buy. Just make sure every time you buy OVER insist the sales person that you want 100% genuine couple of times and not number 2 option. As I encounter once with Sindabad that when I insisted repeatedly he admitted that it's number 2 as number 1 is not in stock and I have to wait for 1 day.

Is that mine Pajero incident.....?

I used them once when it used to known as Cooper Discoverer ATR and they were really nice in offroad with mild bearable noise on road. The bigger problem was loosing the chunk from shoulders after a year of usage with 6-8k km wasn't nice. Changed them in 18 months and found them expensive for 10-12k kms usable + good looking life. Off course people use them with shattered tread and broken shoulder pattern upto 40k kms, but they "looks" horribly unsafe for offroad.

It's not as cool as my Mustang or my wifey Trail blazer in 50+ degree. I simply put it that way and like to see Pajero cooling going anyway close to that level (if possible).

Thanks @Abdul Basit Khan for collecting all the info and even thinking of recce trip (if needed). Looking forward for your further update, count me in with full support on any date or time. I like your idea of night and star photography in that secluded area, may be I can use my new camera remote this time

Chinese tires are just acceptable on safety ratings and they will always wear off faster than US, German, Japanese or even korean brand. So if you drive too little then Chinese tires can be good option in half the price, but for high roller I wouldn't recommend them.

This is exactly the point, I mentioned for "MUST" second opinion in my first post. Btw, now I have to take my Pajero to AMPEX too after listening to so many success stories here. It's AC is borderline cooling always.

Yup gulf coasts is good and in same line you will have plenty of shops, so little research on same street will help identify the good pricing. Just make sure you get 2017 manufacturing date and not 2016 tire

Well it's really good to get second opinion to make sure the problem is legit and corrective measure is really needed. @Barry @shadow79 @treks will be happy to contribute their expertise accordingly.

Hankook Dynapro are noisey and that's what must be bothering you. General are pretty good tires. If I am not wrong in that size you can get Kumho Solus KH17 (not 21) very quiet and reasonably priced in range of 300 per tire. Second option is Yokohama A349TL is also quiet and good tire in range of 350 (made in japan). Third can be Dunlop SP sport LM704 around 350 each tire.
