Marc
who can tell me what tyres are out there for the 2006 Patrol.
275/65R17
I normally run coopers but don't make them in this size. I can't change size as it is a lease truck and must be changed like for like

I stand to be corrected but BFG don't make AT's in 275/65/17.
I sent them an e-mail inquiry as to if, and when, that size was to be made. Did not get an answer.

Mate,
I have had BFG LT 265 / 70 R17 on the Patrol for 16 months.
Find a new tyre supplier.
Cheers

I wanted the original size as did marc - 275/65/17. I realise 265/70/17 is similar.
But you would reckon BFG would make 275/65/17 where people want to stick to the manufacturers placarded sizes.

My GU IV Patrol came with Bridgestone Duellers of that size.
About $315 I am told.

I have the Cooper 265 x 65 x 17 in the ATR's on my Hilux, can't fault them so far, 25,000km,s road work, no sign of wear. Also very quiet.
