Medium Cost tyres for 97 HiLux

Submitted: Thursday, Sep 02, 2004 at 10:07

Howard T

HI fellas,
I have a 97 2.8 Hilux and have been given some prices for some tyres. Size 31x10.5. Brands I have been quoted on are Cymec, Pirelli Scorpion and Bridgestone.
The Hilux is my work vehicle plus I use a bit of 4WD if I go fishing or just in the paddock at home. Therefore not really interested in BFGs or Coopers. I use BFGs on my Series 80 cruiser which is used for towing horsefloats etc
Can someone give me some advice on the above and maybe some mileage figures.
Thanks.

PS: We were told the Pirellis weren't good by our tyre guy but I couldn't back that up.
