I just put 245/75 BFG muddies on last week and they only just touch the control arms on hard lock.
Im prity happy with them and they will give you a bit more ground cover.

How did you go Dean - did you buy some?

I asked one of the BFG reps there if they had any special show pricing...
"No, only RRP today!"

No idea what the <group of sheep> they were doing there then. Big stand, and a few tyres with sand thrown over them - that's it. It was almost an arrogant "we're not here to sell tyres - people buy them anyway".

<end rant>

Hi Steve, exactly what u said.
The bfg mob were quite informative as were the Mickey T crowd.
Bfg, no specials only retail outlets & RRP.
Mickey T , RRP + bonus T shirt, cap, mag, stubbie holder etc with every set of 4...........................pffffff!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!.
Best price Ive had on the Bfg 265/75 fitted & balanced is $315 each, which I think I,ll proly go with.
Cheers Dean.

I've started to look for some 255/85-16's for the County.
In the BFG I'm getting prices of around $370 (fitted and balanced).

What sort of price range have you had for the 265/75's?

Steve
