    Tyres again - looking for 18" ATs and what to do with an unused spare

    Dear All,

    There are numerous threads up about tyres but not so recent.

    I'm wondering if anyone has a recommendation for ATs in 235/60/R18.

    Interestingly, I bought this FL2 with a full set of 6 month old Bridgestone ECOPI EP850 tyres in 2018.

    The prev owner purchase invoice from Bob Jane came with the car and says $880 all up incl balance ; odometer reading 132,231.

    It has just ticked over 201,000 and I'm ready to replace them.

    The FL2 is used for access to State Forests and there have been one or two near misses with bogging incidents - especially soft muddy tracks after rain. I'm interested in AT tyres that would improve traction without making a racket on the road.

    Lastly, I've got what appears to be an unused spare with Continental Cross Contact 235/60R18 on an unused 18' alloy rim that I would be willing to trade for a serviceable spare wheel and tyre same size - my current spare is of no use to me and can be put to better use.


    cheers,
    Allen

    update to Tyres

    Hi All,

    I had a look online for various options and Tyrepower Kirrawee offered (four tyres, 235/60R18)

    Pirelli Scorpion $1,180
    Yokohama Geolandar $1,140
    BF Goodrich Trail Terrain $1,270
    Dunlop Grandtrek AT5 $1,180
    incl fitting balancing disposal etc etc
    plus wheel align $119

    I went with Goodrich - they don't seem to be too noisy but I haven't been on the highway yet.
    Hopefully some improved traction on soft muddy surfaces.
    It will be interesting to see milage.

    cheers
    Allen
