Well done. That would have to be the fastest progress I've ever seen. You won't have anything to be boring about soon.

You obviously power up a lot of stuff - looks great
I see you are looking at going with the Duratrac 255 / 55 /19
They are a great tyre, but I would suggest you order them soon, and put a deposit down for when they arrive.
I evidently scored the last 5 in the country last Thursday, before Easter :D
4 came down from Darwin, and 1 from Queensland.
Ah so that was you [emoji2] Dad was lined up for some through the local Goodyear place before Easter but the guy found the last set in Australia was just taken when he went to place the order. Ended up with Hankooks instead for less money. They look pretty good too so he's happy.

Yep. I wasn't expecting to get them on in time for the Easter trip, but did so.
I would have gone with the worn out road tyres, if I had to. But, so glad I didn't. They were awesome.
Seems to be plenty available now.

BTW how do people who have these fitted rate them on the road? Handling, grip in wet and dry, noise etc.

I better follow up tyre situation.
i wasn't in a hurry, heading central oz in June.
I'm currently preping and painting the 2nd set of wheels i bought.
I was quoted $350 locally fitted & balanced.
I actually got a better deal going direct to Goodyear, than anyone else.
Early indications are that they are great. On the D4, the road noise in negligible, and handling seems perfectly fine. I haven't had a chance to test them in all situations, but nothing is leading me to believe they will be any less than brilliant.
Looking at Tempe Tyres, they still have plenty of stock of Duratracs for $340 fitted.
Can't fault their service. So far there is more noticeably more noise than the Coopers, but that may improve once the molding tags wear off. Handling seems comparable, not sure about consumption yet as haven't had a long distance run with them yet.
