Hi all!
I have a 93 GLX Toyota 80 series .... In 2-3 monts of time I will need new tyres .... any suggestion? I'm living in Kangaroo Island and I'm driving on road (bitumen)/off road (gravel) 50/50.
Regards

Luca

Based on experience - the tyre for all seasons on the GXL is the BFG All Terrain - pretty dear but very rugged in stony country, not too much noise on bitumen roads, ok in sand. My last set went to 95 000 km, pulling a camper trailer often, and on all sorts of road all over.

Cooper ATR's are the go. I'm on my third set of Coopers, the new ATR's are even better than the AT's they replace. Do tend to pick up stones though.

mate, you're gonna get everyone saying everything now.

basically you want an A/T (all-terrain) tyre for your 50/50 driving. best bet is to choose from a reputable brand, including (but not limited to):

BFG A/T
Cooper A/T or ATR or ST
Bridgestone Dueler A/T
Bridgestone Desert Dueler
Wrangler A/T
Pirelli Scorpion A/T

Take your time to look them over and get what suits your budget and car.
