I must say that the Good Year Wranglers I have on my Wrangler is actually a good tire. I not sure If you can find them down here. Pretty capable A/T and is relatively quiet on the road at speed. If you get some give them a try.

Which ones do you have? The Duratracs? Or the Adventures?

Does not say, just has good year wrangler on it, works pretty good in mud.

This is a bess thread! What y'all recommend for a Hilux running 265/65/17? Pretty much 98% road driving

[tourniquet]

I've been seeing some newer navaras with Yokohama geolander AT tires. Will have to do some investigating.....
Jimbo, a friend of ours has a set of michelin highway tires (not 100% on the model, might be LT something ) and he seems pretty satisfied with it. The goodyear wrangler comes in a highway tire variant as well.

Thanks man, will check out Tyre Clinic and see if they have the Wranglers

I could back them wranglers, it really is above and beyond in the A/T department, quiet at highway speed, good in mud and handles wet roads well. I only hear noise cause I have a soft top but no tire noise like some others I heard. Also, my ole man have some kumho's (not sure what series it is) on a BT-50 and they work well too.

I brought in the Yokohama Geolandars and ended up putting them on my Hilux stock wheels... good tires for the money, they hold good in the wet but on wet hilly roads they spin alot in the back which is kinda acceptable given that the tray has no weight in it. But for highway driving I would definitely recommend it!

[Jimbo]

Where do you fellahs source your ires?

I called Tire Clinic on Montrose and they only have a Highway Dunlop @$1300
I tried Wheel Wizard and they have two off brands, Trazano and Hero. The person on the phone couldn't tell me if they were A/T or just highway tires and both brands don't have much in the way of reviews online...

Mileage Mack - Kumho AT
Tyre Clinic Couva - Sumitomo AT

do you remember off hand how much it cost to bring it down?
Jimbo, you can check Mileage Mack (for toyos, kumhos), Laughlin and De Gannes (kumhos), M. Ramrattan (firestone), quick service (michelin, bf goodrich). Naturally, they carry other brands, but I listed the brands I've focused on at those shops.
Alternatively, you can bring down the tires yourself, ask some of the stores if they're willing to do a special order for you, or get a powerseller/ tuner on here to do it for you.

brought them in a container, but the stuff came from Tire Rack with invoices, so it was 30% and 15%.

Nice, how they working?

[venum]

great on dry and wet paved surfaces

great in sand

not so great in mud

[Ted_v2]

What's the price for those venum?

[venum]

I actually bouth those used from ACMillan

he bought them originally from MasterServe

[3stagevtec]

We use those at work on the company 2WD Frontier and I find they work pretty decent in light mud. I felt in noticeable increase in traction when they swapped from the previous HTs. No complaints in wet or dry road use.
