HELP need new tyres

Last time I got tyres I went for the cheapest of the cheapest available. The brand is Motorway and I got the MT's which are a BFG MT rip off cause they are exactly the same pattern. The guy said they would be stuffed at 30k but for $390 for 4 new tyres I thought it was still very cheap. Anyway its 30k now, they have 25% tread left so they do wear faster than quality brand MT's but I dont have a lot to complain about becuase of the cheap tag. One positive thing about these tyres is that they have a very soft compound so grip is excellent and they dont chip or break, I have never had one part of the rubber chip on rocks. I would not use these tyres on a heavy powerful 4x4.

Try Firestone Firehawk They come from Bridgestone dealers ...The American version..Have had for 2+yrs and 50000km.still okfor a few more ks..

Yep I'am with the Firestone Firehawk RMT (recreational maximum traction) made in NZ their only in ?? 3 sizes 30.5/9.5x15 , 31.5/10.5x15 & 225/75x16 they have a pattern somewhere between a A/T & M/T..... Just put 3 in the 30.5 on the C/Trailer $155 fitted...... I've got them in the 31.5 on the cruiser with 15,000 and very happy........ there is a bloke on the 4x4 Monthly form with 4 new ones for sale in 16'' cheap.....

Try GT savero, have used inthe past on my old 80 series, wore well and were not a bad tyre, should be available for a good price. Darren

I normally check out the tyre places and wreckers for Dunlop Road Grippers. Many take these off new cars when they want to put fancy mag wheels on their cars. On average I get thim for about $160-180 per tyre for 7.50x16.

They may not be 'Coopers' or 'BFG's' but they do me just fine. I find they have good puncture resistance, excellent grip in various terrain, but they wear quicker than my previous BFG's. Usually had it by about 50k. Though I still recon they're value for money compare to the others and they can be found just about anywhere in the outback.

I had a great run with Hankookies on my old Hilux. Have now got Bridgestone 394s or something ATs and would not reccommend...good on the road but pretty ord offroad and they seem to be a soft compund.

Must agree with those suggesting the Firestone Firehawk RMT. Excellent wear,
quiet on the blackstuff &good value for your buck. I pay around $170 for 31.5 by 10,on 8 by 15 inch rims. Cheaper for smaller sizes.

I put hankook on a while ago and am very happy with them.

$180 balanced and fitted in Scone

Tried the firestones, OK for the price, but got a bit slippery on bitumen on low tread.

No one has mentioned Simex yet.
Highway pattern in the roadtrekker or the 300 AT.

Got some 235/85 16 roadtrekkers for $149.00 and good for a town and highway set.

Why not pay more and get something that will last instead of tryin to save $50 now...? Go for something quality that will last longer like a BFG AT, or Cooper ST, both good ATs.. Saving a few coin now may cost in the long run

Also depends on what models/pattern of the brands of tires you are mentioning.. There are many models of B'stones, and Kumhos etc and differing opinions of AT's from dealer to dealer.

I had the Kumho Adventurer AT on mine when I bought it. they were like concrete, would last 239023049820398230948230498klms, but werent all bad offroad as long as it was dirt or sand. Mud forget it.

Bridgestones at $180 each.

I would guess these would be the Desert Duelers. Very good tyre, but not available in all tyre sizes. Check with the dealer if they have a size to suit the Hilux rims.

Those RMTs in 225/75 x16 if thats the size your after for your hilux are still for sale on the 4x4 monthly forum site...........in Melbourne $75ea NEW.........very underated tyre INMO......
