New Prado tyre wear ?

settle yous 2 or I will bang your heads together
now seeing as its a half decent post I will try to give a half decent answer. Forget toyota that response is a cop out although wear like that can sometimes be atributed to the overuse of power steering
forget changing tyres a bad wheel alighnment will just wear out more expensive tyres fix the problem first.
So now my advice If you live in a city it should be easy to find specialist front end alighners/repairers and preferably one that specialises in 4bys
notice I said specialist that does not include bob jane etc mystery problems like that can become more frustrating if you take it to the wrong people and get wrong advice
for example I had a skyline with brake shudder and took it to 3 different brake merchants midas etc who told me they were fine before I took it to Kent Brake and clutch (brake specialists) who quickly identified the problem as warped discs machined them used a special type of brake pad problem solved

"Body roll"
Naaah! not in Toyota Prado!
Drive it like a truck not a car.

"I will send my sister in law to a front end specialist"
careful!

and "and then have her fit Coopers and all should be good"...where she gunna fit a coopers ale eh?...i'd be doubly careful now

Yes the factory fitted rubber is hardly long wearing.

what were they..........Grand Shiet?

Great advice mate..

Will pass it on now...

theyre not much chop in sand tho...are they Muddy?

Handled the sand OK at Robe. I did not get stuck at all. No complaints.

yes, I noticed it had to get off the track to take a look at one of the hills at Robe, that angle was obtuse!

Hah,

I was talking about the beach work - the "spot of bother" in the dunes behind the beach was more driver error and a bit much enthusiasm! Not too much blame on the tyres there.

Yes the angle was pretty obtuse. 3 blokes on the sidestep to prevent a rollover usually means things have reach a pretty serious stage. Potential for an unscheduled vertical tyre rotation!

you seriously recommend 44 psi ?

works 4 me but the tyres i fitted are LT, light truck i bleve that these need higher presure, also i am in darwin so high road temps are a BIG factor. i do need to be careful to reduce this when going off road so they dont stake but i carry a pump in the car always. its been all well so far and wearing evenly. i spose that its just a factor to consider no matter where u live. the tyres have a recomended presure for 'southern' conditions and for a comfortable quiet ride, not for life span or fuel economy, the comment bout the rounabouts isnt unfounded as i am always hearing people whinge bout front left tyre wear since THAY put roundabouts in, and thats in lots of 4bys older solid front axels included.
as you turn to the right u are usuly on the gas accelerating thru the roundabout, do that a thousand times and bye bye front left.
as advised keep rotating regularly and watch the presure and yule b rite.
all the best, greg

I had a friend with a 89 GQ (maverick) with BFG Radial Trac Edge tyres, used to run 50psi in them all the time. He got 90000 out of them and sold the car with them on and...it got a roadworthy. I got 50000 km out of a set, and sold them with half the meat left on them, I used to run 38 in mine tho

thanks mate.

How often would you rotate them and would you fit Cooper a/t's ?

I rotate every 5000, or when I change to MT's. And yes I would fit the Coopers
