Cool. In that case, see if you can get some 17" play wheels and then throw on some LT tyres. I have LT245/70R17 BFG KM2 tyres on my D4 for offroad and can highly recommend these as a great legal set. Last year, I did from Sydney to Broome on them and back... cruising at 130km/h in NT, GRR/Mitchell plateau/Bungle Bungles/etc... nothing phased them. Not too noisy for MT's and good grip in pretty much all conditions.Quote:

Not as good in mud, as MT's as expected - but better on road than standard Wranglers. The recently announced Bridgestone LT265/60R18 would be worth a close look. Tombie here has them and likes them.
Good luck on your trips!
I'm changing over from a Pajero with the 16", so want something with similar grip in 19", as will be tackling the same areas.Quote:

I have got the 19" Cooper and I am very happy with them as they have been punished on the roads to El-Questro, Bungles and Chambers Pillar and have had no problems.
That being said I drove in a manner befitting low profile tyres on the bad roads; not being a Nana but watching the road carefully and picking my lines. There was the odd "Oh ****" as the wheel thumped into an unseen larger pothole but no damage done.
I know I'm stuck with the 19", and don't really want to change them. Hence tyres that will provide decent grip up rocky climbs, because that's when low grip potentially means more momentum = big damage.Quote:
