$390 each fitted as a set of 5. Had these on for a week and have managed to do a variety of driving and all is good:)

Quiet as the Wranglers on the road, both city and hwy driving. It's very wet here in Brisbane at the moment and grip in the wet is excellent.

Off road on Saturday I found they had plenty of grip; terrain being rock, loose dirt and some wet clay. Ran them at 24 PSI off road without any excessive bulging in the side walls.

First quote was $490 ea. Amazing what a ring around can do.

Tyre speed rating so H is 210km/h and V is 240km/h, any faster than this and you could run into problems. Anything over 190 km/h or T rating for a D3 would be fine.

In NSW you only need 140km/h but full load rating.

These tyres are gaining favour in the UK over the GGs and so far I've not read of any problems with sidewalls. I recently fitted some to my D2 and whilst there are scrape marks on the sides from rocks, there's not been any damage yet.

Correct, and in fact anywhere in Australia, regardless of the placard.

Does that include the NT? Certainly goes a long way to explain their new speed laws.
