Hello

I need some replacement tyres for my Prado, and the Yokohama Geolandar GO11+II is pretty appealling. Aside from being one of the few tyres around in the 265/70 R16 size range, it has the looks that i'm chasing (i.e. no big knobs and no raised white lettering).

Since the car is mostly on the road (I'd say 80/20), I'm looking for something with a bit more bite than a highway tread tyre without too much extra road noise. The tread pattern on the GO11+II *looks* like it would be quiet on the road, and would have reasonable traction off road, but any extra information on this particular tyre is pretty thin aside from the usual marketing guff.

So I'm chasing your feedback, opinions and reviews on these tyres in particular. I'll even take rumors at this stage ;)

I did note that they were applauded by one company in the aug edition of 4x4 australia... but I can't tell what is a paid advertisement and what is the real deal :)

I checked out Coopers, but am not interested in upping my tyre size to get a particular brand.

oh - For those in WA - the 4wd show is on this weekend.
Fri-Sun 8-10 Nov, McCallum Park, Victoria Park - www.4wdshow.com.au

I'm going to be heading along to pick the brains of each tyre stand :)

Cheers,
Martin
