Recomendations for 4x4 tyres

[rmrunner]

Do I need to buy a toyota to get this tyre or they sell tyres loose?

[mitch1980]

^^ avg price they might be going for ?

Going Tyre hunting tomorrow....leaning towards the Firestone destination AT ....any idea where i could get them and price ?

M. Ramrattans on the Pointe-e-Pierre have Firestone in stock

Went there today , they don't have 17" tyres in the Firestone .
They had the bridgstone and dunlop but wasn't interested in them ....they were priced at $1400 per tyre.

Hmm i am using the Kumho road Venture APT KL51
excellent wet and dry tires
20,000 km since last May to present.
Mileage Mack - 1300ttd I think

Great thread guys. lots of useful info.
Any offroad with the Kumho? I'm thinking about getting the same.

Yes try the KL 61
check reviews on the tirerack site

ok not getting the bf and decided to lean towards the Firestone Destination AT. Ramrattan doesnt have the size I want. anywhere else stocks these and price?

An additional question here from a recent ranger owner.

Where can i get all terrains 265/65R17???
I called a lot of tyre shops and there are not much options for 17"s. In fact, most shops only have highway threads.
Isn't this a popular size carried by the newer pickups and SUVs....why isn't the size carried by the dealerships??

Also encountered one shop that had the AT 265/70 R17. But they wanted to $1700...is this a reasonable price?

I want to stay with the stock rims and keep with the stock specifications on the tyre, hence why 265/65 R17. But from my initial search, it doesn't look my people care about the stock sizes.

Any comments/recommendations would be appreciated.

I have the dunlop AT3 in 275/65 R17 and it works pretty decent thus far (~6m)
Got it at Tyre clinic @1350 ea.

Ended up purchasing the dunlop PT2 , been using it for the past 3 days and i am quite impressed....the ride is alot softer compared to the stock michelin tyres and handles both in the dry and wet really good....

Just bought a 2000 Toyota Hilux Surf (TDI) here in Jamaica and it has Goodyear Wrangler Duratrac tyres in 265/75/16.

All I can say is that these are the most aggressive all terrains I have ever seen without being full mudders. Road manners are quite impressive for something with this sort of competency offroad. Never seen them for sale in trinidad though...

i ended up using Kumho 275/60/17 from Milage Mack @1200.00 each

[MadCrix]

the khumo broader that the firestones?

[mitch1980]

the three figures u see in tyres eg. "275" and "265" measures width
65/75 measures tyre height


the 275 is broader/wider

[De Dragon]

Destination A/T's are holding up really good so far. I got the 265/70/16 for $1200.00 installed at M Ramrattan's. Sorry to hear that you had issues Crix, you should have taken them back to be properly balanced.
