Thanks Justin. Finally a light truck tyre in 19 inch! This is going on the shopping list. Hopefully the reviews are favourable.....ie minimal road noise, great puncture resistance, great handling in wet, etc and that there are enough stock in the country when time comes to changing the Wranglers!

Will be a set going on mine for the Cape trip next year, great news

When I look I can not see an 'LT' against any of the sizes over 15".

My apologies - I did not look at the prefix as the 'LT" usually is a suffix.

Like others I will be interested to hear reports of hard off road use. 265/60R18 D697's are great but they come at a price...

I have seen a few brands put the LT as a prefix, only on the metric sizes.
I am expecting my next tyre purchase to be these, but still have well over half the life left on my Hankooks. I am eager to hear about sidewall durability, especially after seeing the limestone and shale induced sidewall failures of the Duratracs on that video posted in other threads (I know that those were extreme circumstances though).
I know the LT rated tyre may be a bit harsher ride, but having my Hankooks up at 47psi is too.

I have excessively rounded shoulders, so have 45 front and 47 rear.... on a side note they don't have the traditional sidewall bulge
