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.

Got the Pirellis on wifes pathy, they are great. Have only been off the tar once, and they were not bad for what you pay.
Cant say on Klms, only had few mths.

Always remember, tire bloke will shoot down tires he
1) doesnt stock
2) doesnt make $$ out of
3) will always try and flog whats in stock.

Good luck.
