Thought I would update my tyres survey as I have a very different rim and tyre to stock.

Brand? Nexen

Style? (L/T,A/T, Claws, M/T) HT

Handle on Road? (Grip/noise) Excellent, good grip on wet bitumen.

Handle off road? (Grip/Noise) Surprising good on dirt roads, don't go near mud or sharp sticks.

Price per tyre? (if you want) Probably around the $400 mark

Wear & Tear? (how are they wearing) I will get between 35 and 40k out of them.

Fitted today. Triton has done 10,000km on OME HT's.

Size: 225/75/16
Brand: BFG
Style: AT (TA KO)
On Road: Steering seems to be better. Nice and firm round corners.
W&T: TBA
Price: 5 x $212 (After trade in on stock Tyres) ($254 without trade)
Power: No lose in power from takeoff or overtaking.
Road Noise: Slightly more. Not an issue.

I stayed with smaller tyres so I didn't have to change rims. Happy with Steel GLX rims.
I'm passed the Bling stage, not that there's anything wrong with that.

Going in Thursday for 2 inch lift.

Make sure you ring and get some ordered in as they didn't have any in stock when I rang for a quote. I did it a week before I wanted them fitted and they took them off the delivery truck as I handed the keys over!
My wife said "that was lucky".
Yeah, lucky for them! :twisted:
Here's a couple of pics with the new tough dog suspension fitted too.

What Size: 235/85/16

Brand: Bridgstone

Style: D673 M/T

Handle on Road: (Grip/noise) Excellent in dry, fair to good in the wet. They are a little noisy, but not as bad as the MTZ's.

Handle off road: (Grip/Noise) Excellent. Tyre pressure down to 24psi & they bag really well, probably could go lower in pressure.

Price per tyre: $50 (second hand)

Wear & Tear: Too soon to know & not sure how many km's they've done. The 2 rear tyres have approx. 90%, the 2 front have approx. 60%.

Does Spare fit Y/N: Yes
