Hello - need some ideas on what tyres to wack on the Prado (current tyres are standard 225/70R17 Dunlops). Any ideas on best value for money (AT or HTs).

Thanks
Greg

I'd use AT for sure as for a brand that would be best answered by yourself for the amount you wish to pay for a set. Don't forget to include the spare if changing the size of the tyre as well.

Cheers Kev

Greg,
Its a very uncommon size - not much around for the GX Prado. If you want to keep the same size and go AT, Bridgestone D694 or Dunlop AT2 are about all thats available.

Cooper and BFG ATKO both have a 245/70R17 which may fit your rims.

Or you can go the whole hog, and upgrade to the 7.5 inch wide rims - theres plenty out there now in the 265/70R17 or the 265/65R17, which are naturally taller tyres but should be OK on your Prado - not sure whether the gearing would be affected though.

Out of interest, Toyota have dropped this size, and the GX now comes with 7.5x17 steel wheels and 265/65R17.
