I was speaking to a hilux owner Friday he had new 2.8 hilux and had just fitted GP2s as well. Was just returning from trip 4wd out back of Byron and also a trip up Fraser Island. He was very complimentary had no issues anywhere. They are quieter than my Cooper Zeon LTZ were

Yep that's them though they are not LT in that size. Bob Jane Noosa fitted them they say they are doing a lot of this tyre and are well impressed

Oh and right now it's pay for 3 get 4th free. $1175 fitted. Plus I got a good second hand Goodyear 255/55 R19 for my spare so all diameters are right.
Pretty happy with them really good service

Im just about to order the 18" Compomotive rims for my RRS so will have a look at these while i wait for them to arrive, price is pretty good.

[Meccles]

Yeah I was looking very hard at Gordon's rims however I like my stormer rims. Most of my off road is Beach work so I will give these a go. The only issue I hard with Cooper Zeons was my fault ran them too low too hard too long and damaged sidewalls[emoji15]

[sandgroper57]

Ive been running the 20,s with GG 275/45 AT,s and done 2 sidewalls so far, one was a pothole on bitumen and the other i dont know how, at $350 a tyre i think the compomotives will save me $$ in the long run plus peace of mind..i also do mostly sand but sometimes have to get thru the rocks to get there.
I think my rims are stormers also, will be for sale shortly.

[Meccles]

Yeah I hear you and understand. The 50's have a pretty decent sidewall so will give it a go

What's the ride like compared to the Coopers (274/45/20?) - an extra 10mm of sidewall on the 265/50/20.
I've trashed the sidewalls on my Coopers...

[Meccles]

Ride is good. At moment tyres have 41 psi in them from fitters however I run mine a bit lower 36 mainly so ride should further improve. They are very quiet. I don't think steering is quite as sharp as with Coopers but it is splitting hairs.

Just got a price on the 285/60/18 and $332 ea so with 4th one free can do all 4 for under $1000 !!!!
D697 same size are $400 ea with no 4th tyre free on the duellers.

Compomotive rims arrive mid Jan so looks like the Terra Grapplers G2 are the go.

[Meccles]

Sounds like a good deal[emoji1303]

There's a L319 thread mentioning a D4 with 285/50/20 s fitted... reckon another 10mm in the wheel well would have been too much?

[Meccles]

I didn't even want to try. The 265's are well wide enough. They look good on the 🚗 :)

Was up theNorth Shore this week then across to Rainbow beach. Ran tyres at 20 psi they were fine wheel temp didn't move. Pretty easy going so much traffic on beach. But one Prado managed to get stuck at Double Is point crossing. Tyres worked fine hard to say if they were better than Coopers but certainly no worse and extra sidewall was nice

I wouldn't be game to run the Coopers at 20, haven't been lower than 25...

[Meccles]

I used to run them at 18. When one failed I checked the other side it was at 12[emoji15]

Just got my compomotive 18" rims and Nitto terra grapplers on and they look and feel great, 285 60, a slight rubbing on the front when on full lock but nothing to worry about, of to Lancelin to test them in the sand.
