Looking for a set of all terrain tyres for a 200 series Landcruiser would like BFG'S but I am told that these are not yet available.Currently have fitted a set of
Dunlop A22 285-60R-18 but looking for a more offroad suitable tyre.Some have recommended Toyo M/Thompson or Yokos. Can anyboby shed some light on which may be best or when the BFG's may be available?

Hi
John,
I have the same problem with my VX 200 and am looking at 17'' rims. However, don't make the same mistake I made a few years back, when I took a Disco to the Kimberly's on non factory size tyres.
Damaged 2 tyres on the
Gibb river road and could not get replacement tyres in the size I had on.
Being in constant 4wd (like the 200) had to buy 5 new (factory size) tyres to save the diffs. Not a problem if your car has 2wd and 4wd as you can put them on the front. Most small bush tyre servo's only carry factory sizes and generally for models 2 years old.
Good luck and let the
forum know how you get on.

G'day pling, For your info 18" BFG's sourced via a friend's relative direct from USA. Even with freight still cheaper than local price[if you could get them]. Strong Aussie dollar helps.Regards
