Thread: 255/85 tyres - BFG MT, Cooper ST, or Bighorns

yes , Quote "as off" this Morning.

I need to find a better supplier of tyres!

I did a quick ring around this morning. Prices have risen a lot since I was looking 6 mths ago.

In 255/85 STs are $321, BFG KM2 are $350, Bighorns are $300.

At those prices I might have to reconsider going back to a 235/85 in something like a Yoky Geo12 at $260.

Try Ryano at Fourbys moorooka. Most of the outerlimits guys use him and his prices are pretty hard to beat. Just tell him you are an OL member.

I have 255/85 Bighorns. Very happy. I did 15000 km on them over 3 weeks in January (perth - adl - melb - tas - syd - per). They wore a fair bit but still have at least 70% tread. I ahve done 20-25k km on them in total. They have good grip on and off road, however I have managed to stake 1 and puncture another - so IME not quite as tough as an MTR.

thanks Ben. Tried Fourby's. No better on price.

Did you get a quote from Ryan? He quoted me $233 a tyre, but that was almost 2 years ago. However he was miles cheaper than anyone else.

No it wasn't Ryan, he wasn't around. The bloke said it didn't matter who quoted price.

I would Pm Ryano via outerlimits and see if he can do you a better price.
