Heading off on a round oz trip next year in a cruiser towing a two tonne plus off road van. Lot of highway, sand & gravel driving.
Wondering about comments on tyres, BFG's v Coopers v Bridgestone.
Particularly interested in comments about road noise & punctures.
Need to make a decision in the next couple of weeks.
Cheers

G'day Bill
We've also had BFG ATs with a Hilux TD and on Tvan. Current set are at 64000km (around town / Kangaroo Is /
Flinders ranges /
Darling River run /
Birdsville track) and estimate is around 10000km left on them. Will replace within 5000km because of trip planned for July / August. Two puntures - one on the
Darling River run - 5" steel blade; one in
Marree - screw (probaly on the bitumen in town at the end of the Birsdville Track run)
Can't really comment on road noise because of limited basis for comparison. Not really noticeable, and certainly not intrusive.
Price in
Canberra for LT265s is $295.00 / tyre
Cheers
John
