I have an 18 month old Toyota Prado and am seeking some advice in advance of purchasing new tyres. I use it as my only car so it gets lots of city driving and some off road work on weekends and annual holidays (we have just come back from a great tag-along tour through the Victorian Alps and a stone put a small slit through the side wall of the tyre and I have had to replace it so I was wondering if the original tyres sold with the car may not be intended for much off road use. When the time comes, should I just replace the tyres with the original Dunlops that came with the car - or is there a better tyre around - I cant afford to keep two sets of wheels for off road and non-off road so am looking for something that will do for both jobs. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Narelle: if u replacing a full set of tyres u have a very wide selection I run bf goodrich is a excellent tyre with a wide choice of treads from agresive to full highway
However if u are only replacing one u be better off getting a used dunlop with similar amount of wear,remember the Prado is a full time 4wd and we must mantain wheel diameter as close as possible
if u are in
Perth,Robbie at Ardross tyres have a good selection of new and used a very reasonable prices and is a really good guy(no...its not my brother)
Happy 4wding
