What price did you pay for them? I am considering them also.

Any updates on members using these tyres? Seriously considering getting some of these.

A review on them by a prado guy. If you take this with a grain of salt they sound like a good tyre. Wagga prices for 265/75R16 are $348 ea.

Hi all,
I just put on a set of the 265/65/17 stz and first impressions are I am very pleased. If I remember, I will update in a few months as to how they are going, or just pm and remind me later.

How'd the tyres go tjg

Hey Vol,
I realise that this probably isn't helpful now, but for anyone else interested in these tyres, I have now done almost 10000 on these tyres and they are great. Haven't seen much wear at all.
I'm sure that this goes for many new tyres that people are purchasing, but if you move away from the standard Highway terrains that come with the vehicle and move on to something a bit more robust, it is well worth it.
Probably the biggest thing you will notice is the grip you get in the wet. No more sliding around the place when on the asphalt on a rainy day. While the fuel economy does go up slightly, (I attribute much of this to the carbon issue, but that's a whole other issue not particularly relevant here) the added piece of mind [and increase in safety] is well worth it.
That's just my two cents,
Tyler.

Yeh tjg I got a set in the end 1000 km a week and a trip to Fraser and haven't had a drama think I'll get 100000 km at this rate, so more than happy
