I have spent the last 6 mths absorbing comments about which tyres are best and worst. As i do over 40k km per year tyresbecome a regular large expense for me, i get it wrong the bill comes around again quick.
I was set on either a set of either Goodyear Atr's, or Kuhmo's. The Kuhmos because i have had good prformance for the cost before.
I started getting prices and the salesman threw in a wild card, he offered 265/70*16 Maxxis's for $169 each fitted & balanced. I always thought MAxxis were expensive quality tyres.
Has anu one had any experience with these or should i ao\void them like the plague.

Alan,
My LX470 does about 40k a year too. The BFG ATs are 2 years old and still have lots of meat left. This is far and away the best run I've had. No punctures in two years.
I reckon an unknown brand might keep the rims off the road for a year, but it may be false economy if you plan on keeping the vehicle for more than a year.
I have Cooper STs on the Disco. I had no punctures at all on last year's mega trip, but they show a disturbing amount of wear.
