HI,ALL.
Just would like to get some comments on a new set of Tyres for my 200 as we are going of road on our next trip, I have always had BFG and been very happy with them, but BFG don't do A/T for 18" wheels,
There must be people out driving off road, what are the tyres you have chosen and why. Comments appreciated.
Regards in anticipation Harry H .

Hi Harry,
I have BFG's on my 200 but my 2008 model has the 17" rims. Several 200 owners are buying genuine toyota steel 200 rims (~$140ea) and putting on LT tyres (muddies mostly) so having a "play" set and a "daily" set of tyres. 17" rims are the smallest that will fit a 200, but there are heaps of options in the 17" size compared to the 18".
Check out LCOOL.org and there are a heap of threads on this, plus a lot of info on the 200 in general. You do have to join (free) but
well worth it IMHO.
Cheers
Captain

I just priced a spare 17" alloy rim for my 200
A steal at $1500 each -even the service/spare parts manager was shocked.
I bought a 17" steel rim, same size/offset etc from Toyota for $125 , I am considering buying a complete set for my trip to the Kimberleys in July, just in case I damage an alloy
I use BFG all terrains, and will now need to buy a set of muddies,
I ahve always found the BFG's to be a good , reliable tyre

Harry,
BFG do do 18" ATs - I am looking at BFG AT KOs for my RRS - they are LT and cost about $500 each.
