Hello Everybody,

I haven't contributed to the forum for quite sometime for a number of reasons.
One of the reasons is because we've been travelling through the country discovering new places for ourselves.

That has lead to our need to renew the rubber under our wheels.
Currently we have a set of six Toyo Open Country M/Ts. They have been brilliant. We have travelled 97,000 kms on them. At least half of that on bitumen, two trips to the Gulf country through Western Queensland, across the Simpson Desert and throughout NSW, including the Corner Country. Many kilometres have been towing my work trailer on bitumen.
They have chips from gibbers and rock climbing but continue to handle well and are quiet on the road. I routinely have the wheels balanced and alignment checked plus I have the tyres rotated every 15,000 to 20,000 kilometres, depending on where I have been.

I am going to stay with Toyos but have been considering fitting their Open Country A/T2. This is my question - we are heading off again next April, north to Fraser Island then west through Queensland, across the Simpson Desert to Dalhousie, up to Alice and the surrounding areas for starters, then we are going to start travelling. Pretty much the same as we have done for the last 100,00 kms but would I be getting the same service out of the A/T2s as we've had from the M/Ts.

I would appreciate your feedback.

Steve
