Hi All,
I will be doing the Canning & Gunbarrell in the next few months and was wondering what tyres & rims people who have have actually done the route have used and their relative
successes/failures.

Planning on taking 5 new tyres plus one extra spare - the 6th tyre either on a rim or just the tyre itself - also have an R&R Beadbreaker & tyre repair kit.

The vehicle I am taking is a 90 series Prado and currently have the std 16x7 steel rims (15" wont fit), but I am considering buying split rims and using appropriate tyres. The tyres I am looking at are either 265/75R16 or skinnier 235/85R16. It has been suggested that the skinnier 235 tyres may be better as they don't balloon as much and are less likely to get "staked". I currently have the std 16x7 steel rims but am contemplating buying a set of split rims.

As mentioned I am interested in people who have done the canning and what they use and recommend
cheers
Andy
