G'day Trev & Ness, I had Silverstones on my 2003 Pajero for awhile and they served me
well. If I am correct they were a copy of the BFG T/A but a hell of a lot cheaper. The actual structure of the tyre was weaker with a soft sidewall where your average American type tyre has a strong side wall. The price was fairley reasonable but at the end of the day you only get what you pay for. On my 98 GU I had B/stones & later on fitted BFG's. The latter IMHO is the best 4WD tyre. The pattern & construction has not changed in the past 20 or so years, so I suppose the old saying "When you are on a good thing stick to it" I have also had Coopers on various vehicles & due to my past vocation I drove different types of 4WD's with many different brands of tyres fitted.....some were v/good & some I was glad to get rid of. My last stint was in sandy areas (Desert country) & drove Patrols,Toyotas, Jackaroo & Pajero all fitted with BFG by the company. I never had any problems. The BFG's were great in all consitions. I have no affiliation with any tyre company. Good luck. Robert
