I have the Bridgestone A/T D693 LT in 30 x 9.5 R15 on my Terrano II and would recommend them. They are quieter and handle better than the Yokohama Geolander
tyres that I had fitted previously. The compound is also a bit better wearing.
I haven’t been bogged since I fitted them (hasn’t rained much since I fitted them either) and the rubber has stood up quite well to a few runs up to
Barrington Tops and some bush runs up near Coffs Harbour.
The LT version has a stiffer sidewall and you will find the 30x9.5 R15 will make the speedo spot on at 100k’s, although then the trip meter will then be out a bit.

Thanks, with my 235/70 x 15's the Terrano speedo reads quite low at 60kph, actual 55kph! but is only 1kph out at 100kph. Have you had your 693's in any rocky terrain?

Here are some piccies of me playing up near Coffs. I don't do much rock crawling, but the bridgestones give good grip just about every where.
That hill in the pictures had everyone else turning on their lockers, but I did it without one and a hill start half way up. (dam I'm good)
