As you don't mention your location, try Google, quite a few retailers come up.

I have read another site about these tyres. I think I would rather pay extra and know they are what they are meant to be.
At the moment it is quite inexpensive to import the known brands from the USA. Of course your local tyre dealer will not tell you that. Check it out as you may end up with better tyres than an unknown brand at about the same price.
Recently, I have imported some items from the USA much cheaper than I could buy the same here and delivered very quickly, within a week.
Cheers

I did not buy tyres in the USA but some other items. The dollar exchange is very favourable now.

Unknown brand ? TerraTrac by Hercules , one of the top selling tyres to mining companies in SA.

Please demonstrate how you could import 'known' brand MT tyres from the states and have them fitted for $170.00 each (terra trac 245 75 16 MT). I'm on my second set. If you 'knew' anything about them you'd know that hercules was set up by one of the partners of cooper, and as stated above their 16's are much sought after by commercial operators in gravel pits, mines, quarries etc. Don't tell everybody though - they'll put the price up.
To the O.P. I get
mine in QLD from 'Tyres cash and carry' at Eagle Farm. Perhaps a phone call to them will get you the distributor for your area?

Had a set of these on my D22 Navara, and they did 105,000kms, mostly on bitumen, but a small amount on the dirt. A little bit noisy and a little bit slippery on greasy roads when they were worn down, but at $160 a tyre, they are outstanding value. Would I buy them again? Yes, but If i was doing "The big Trip" on unknown road surfaces, I would probably go for a more
well known and experienced tyre on these surfaces.

Yes, I've been running the Terra Trac (Hercules) on my HEAVY Patrol dual cab (with 6.5 Chev V8 diesel donk) for about 15,000klm now and they are a very solid tyre.
The only thing you may find with a pajero is that they are too "solid" and you may feel they stuff up the ride quality.....
