Before you all go not again, I've never spotted the answer to my particular question.
I've got P255/65/R16 106T currently and need A/T's (wife thinks otherwise), for my Terracan. (The stock Hankook radials let me down last weekend whilst out playing. No traction in the mud, result a dent in the front - ouch!!)
What options are available for me and what should I be paying (in
Perth if possible)? I have no bias as the Jerry is my 1st 4WD and obviously never had to bother about A/T's before.
I've read the rhetoric of BFG v Coopers etc, but all have been for larger tyres etc than
mine. Also I haven't done a
suspension lift yet so clearance is still stock.
Thanks
Dunc

Gday Duncan W
Cooper, BFG you are paying for proven durability, the fact the companies target the 4WD market you will always pay more also because more people use them you hear more positives and negatives.
The average AT tyre, Bridgestone, Goodyear, Hankook and alike will handle off roadwork fine. Half the time it is whether or not you hit that sharp
rock, have the wrong tyre pressure or going to fast that causes the problems.
Look at some different tyres and the tread pattern then decide on which one will suit you needs. Ring around and for some prices but I find the best way to go into teas things is to expect to spend at least $1000 on 4 tyres.
