I know this topic gets done over now and then but here goes, again.
About to replace the tyres on the BT50 in readiness of next year’s big adventure and really can’t decide on what to use.
The choice is now down to 2;
Toyo Open Country A/T II LT265/65R17 120R
&
Yokohama Geolandar A/T G015 265/65R17 120/117R
Price for both is pretty good with only about $100 between the two, that’s $1200 for 5 fitted and aligned.
I want the extra weight rating primarily because when travelling the rear axle is pretty much right on the 1850kg limit.
Most travel will be on sealed roads or formed gravel (think Birdsville, Oodnadatta etc) with only occasional trips off the beaten track and even then, at low speed and pressures etc. I’ve always been slightly over cautious about vehicle care.
So, any thoughts or comments??
Always open to suggestions.
TIA Greg.
