Think it must be 16' rims, at $255 for 265/60/18 I would buy a couple of sets and flog them off myself.

BFG A/T's also emit a hum that can just be heard on the D4.
Definitely noisier than the OEM tyre.

As for Km2's,they are not that quiet on the deefer.

Ean,

Try Ace tyres 07 33907124 or 33904148 here in Brisbane.

Got my BFG from them for the D4(almost two yrs ago),well priced and only place that had 245/70/17 A/T in stock.Other places the wait was 6 weeks:(
From memory i think they were around $330 each.

Thanks, I bought a set of Dunlop AT22 from a 200 series cruiser that drove from the show room to the tyre supplier for a set of M/T tyres.

Paid les than half price a tyre, even tho they are a H/T based im happy with that as the D3 is SWMBO's daily driver so 95% are highway kms.

Cheers Ean

Sorry for the confusion guys. I have a set of 16 inch rims as well. I'd been running the 18s until I had time to go and get a new set of 16 inch tyres.


The KM2s are 245/75/16.


Happy Days

I'd check out a few reviews before settling on the KM2's.

The difference in weights of the 4 tyres tested is a bit worrying unless there's a typo.

Have been looking for this site as I had it marked as a favourite and lost it.
Handy site as it covers most tyres....Test report: 4x4 tyres Hankook Dynapro MT RT03 - Tyretest.com - Tyre test reports by consumers for consumers

Cheers, Craig
