I'm interested in your comment Ray. I have road tyres on a Toyota - Dunlop - original tyres for the vehicle. On two recent outback trips - Simpson Desert and Lake Eyre, I have had no tyre troubles. I have helped others in our group changing punctured BFG and Bridgestone All terrain type tyres. Friend changed from OE on his Toyota which had given him no trouble to BFG and had sidewall damage within a month in suburbia. Any similar experiences around as I'm looking at replacing my road tyres - they've clocked over 103,000km. I was always going to go for BFG A/T as they seem recognised as the best but weighing up my experience I'm leaning towards staying with road tyres. I also coped with mud and sand as well as the others. After some heavy rain in Innamincka area we all had difficulty but I noticed that when full of mud an A/T tyre looks much the same as a road tyre!!

Mine have done Gibb River / Kalumburu twice in the past 12 months alomg with numerous other Pilbar/Kimberley adventures and I still have a brand new spare sitting on the back. No punctures, no splits in 25000 km's thus far. My only concern is longevity, which I cannot answer at this early stage but I have no apparent signs of wear as yet. I would try others given the right recommendation but will probably stick to BFG A/T's .
