Triton Tyres

G'day John B

I also have a Triton .GLX-R TD 2005 Manual. When I brought the car I had them change the tyres to Cooper ATR 265 x 75 LT .On the sand I normally run them at 16 PSI and have travelled all the way from Lancelin to Wedge and Beyond at this pressure. The trip also has some very sharp stony sections (up to a few hundred meters each)which I covered still at 16 PSI with no damage to the wall or foot of the Tyre. I have covered 35 000 km and am very happy with the wear. (should easily get 80 000 + KM). John most tyres will do you OK for beach driving but an all Terrain should provide you with a stronger tyre than a passenger bred type. An LT will be even Stronger.!
Before I get kicked by the other tyre mob. Each to their own .

My brother uses Toyo (smaller budget) and still gets by nicely.

Good luck , Gavan

for cheapness i reckon you cant go past 31x10.5 and some reckon its too low but I go down to 12psi cold for loose sand driving. It's really a personal preference but remember the lower your pressure goes the easier it is to roll a tyre off the rim if you turn sharply or at speed.

stick to 15" they are cheaper, 31, 32, 33" either one is ok, although 33 may not fit under full susp travel. As for brand??????????? not really a safe question round here, but if i were you id go with a popular tried and tested tyre, BFG or Cooper. Your local tyre shop usually are the best to ask, although something they wont tell you is that the tyres get stronger as they get bigger, and that all terrain or smoother tyre patterns are better on sand, as aggressinve treads like muddies will dig, and bog (usually), but if you go for a popular all terrain in the biggest you can fit you should be ok......and on sand PSI is more important than how much your tyres cost!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

For the 2005 model Triton it has as standard 16" rims. So to change to 15" rims would end up costing more. I have a mate that has an 05 GLX-R Triton and has used Kuhmo AT with some good initial results.
I personally prefer BFG KO AT for my Triton but it has 15" rims therefore I am running 31 x 10.5 x R15

Reduce your tyre pressures to about 18PSI at a minimum until you get some more offroad experience and go from there. Asking a question like that on this forumn is like opening pandoras box. Pick a reputable brand that is within your price range and go from there. An All Terrain tread will allow you to experience 4wdriving until the bug well and truely bite then you will be better informrd as to what will best suit you.

Happy Trails
