    i just ordered 5 @ 255/85x16 Maxxis Bighorns

    couldnt find anything else in that size other than BFG and a couple of AT's and the bighorns are reportedly viewed in a better light than the BFG. none of the cheaper brands such as federal or nangang do that size.

    get em fitted friday hopefully, have to go play in beerburrum on saturday afro me thinks :P

    if buy set of four from the super cheap tyre store on Nerang Ashmore Rd, opposite cheapa auto spares, Can't miss the sign if you look to your right if coming from Ashmore heading towards Nerang.

    Thanks for that info mate, in terms of tyre place, I only go to Brett at Austyre as he always looks after me and many in the club with prices and overall service. At this stage the Maxxis are still looking hot favourite, though will be looking into some of the others as well,

    Regards
