Truckster
I paid $269 for mine about 8 months ago best price I could find in Perth.
Unless things have changed it sounds good.

PS Found them to be a great tyre so far.

Got quoted $285 for 285X75X16 about 2 months ago in Sydney after shopping around so seems pretty good.

G'day Crazie,

Are you asking me if the price I posted was for MT/R's?? ;-) If you are then yep, the best price I could get for 285/75-16 MT/R's was $280 each for 5 tires. Or does mtz mean something else haha?

Cheers
Scoey!

If I could get MTZ's for same price I'd do it, but sadly they were $lots each more..

Thats enough for new dual battery system and tray :(

Truckster,

Where are you getting this price? I'm looking too. Email me direct please. I'd also be interested to know form you if any Nissan club members with 2002/2003 GUs have had problems with wheel studs breaking. FTG Nissan tell me mine did not fail due to over tightening. The investigation continues.

I'm looking forward to buying my next set of 285's . Last lot cost me $450 each. Mind you that was in N.Z. Even allowing the exchange rate thats expensive.
