Current Prado Owners

The bottom of the range Pathies run 16" wheels, but all the rest run 17".

Seems kind of silly unless Nissan thought more of the bottom range would go bush.

Have you been on the Pathfinder forum, lot of good info there.

TPM,

I have BFG ATs 265/70/17 LT rating. Did 20000kms round the centre, top end and down the qld coast without a puncture or other damage, plenty off road and sand on Fraser Island. I think they come in reading about 3-6% under on the speedo compared to actual so 100 is really between 103-106km/h.

If you want a really tough tyres then go with the Goodyear MTR. I am running these on the Prado in 265/70R17. I am also running a set of Cooper ATR in he same size on another set of rims as they are much better on the bitumen. I run the MTR generally and put the ATR's on if doing an interstate trip that does not involve offroad work.

Goodyears are a bit noisy on bitumen but on fast gravel they are just bliss. The Coopers are a great allrounder that are really good on bitumen and not too bad off road. The MTR's are just in a class of there ow for grip offroad. They are both an LT construction.

The only way to get tougher tyres above these is to go with the Willem specials, rag cross plies with inch thick sidewalls!
