cheers

Be interested to see how they go for you. I am considering these when it is time to replace the AT3s. Did you go 265/60r18?

Yep - went with the 265's.
The only two sizes available in 18's are...265/60R18LT & 285/60R18LT
according to the Bridgestone site.
cheers

PS - very happy with them so far ... quiet as mice just sitting in my shed heh heh

I can highly recommend these tyres, quiet, excellent grip on and offroad, have done about 5000ks now and I'm more than happy and they are well priced too, I went for the 265/60/18LT also.

Baz.

Does anyone know how the 285/60R18's fit in the wheel arches???
Any rubbing at full lock???

On D4....yes on full lock, and nearing full lock.

At full articulation it rubs in the rear arch slightly....and rubs a bit harder on the chassis on the front when turning with full articulation.

I pick them up tomorrow from my local Bridgestone dealer ($379 ea) and will get them fitted at "Tyrepower Camberwell" sometime next week... "Boof" (Michael) always does a great job plus he's a Land rover man so I know it'll be done properly... I'll let you know how they go after a few trips...
cheers

I thought Mike had left Tyrepower ? I'll be miffed if he's back, having just gone elsewhere for a new set of tyres...

I didn't know that he'd "left" - damn ! ... I'll have to track him down before I get them fitted, anyway the tyres are safely tucked up in my shed and I'm in no real rush to get them fitted... anybody have any suggestions of a GOOD tyre place ? I don't mind where it is - I just want to go to a place that knows what it's doing... unfortunately nowadays a lot of places seem to lack any real skill....too much "she'll be right" attitude...
cheers
