    Tyres,again....BFG 18's

    Gotta get a new set,going to go back to 18's.

    Anyone used these guys?

    They seem very cheap for these.

    I try to use the local guys,but they can't get anywhere near these prices.

    Why?

    Just interested as i haven't fully decided on size.

    I don't really want to go over size,65 profile is about 26mm larger.,actually around 37mm larger than OEM,depending on tyre brand....any rubbing issues?

    I suppose sidewall is around half an inch taller....than 60 profile

    In KO2 265/65/18 there are actually two load ratings,i would stick to the higher one,for a few $$,i wouldn't touch the lower one.

    That size was always a lot cheaper than the 265/60/18,much more common.

    There are also two load ratings in this size,which one,as the prices are different?

    Which retailer?

    Just for a change..i like the look of the 18 rims better than the 17's.


    The only reason i went to the 17's was there were no LT rated tyres in the 18" that were not oversized when i bought the vehicle.

    I have the new 18" rims sitting under the house taking up space,will eventually sell the 17's i suppose.

    I have 265/60,thinking next set going to 265/65.Anything bigger may be overkill,yet to decide.
    Slightly better sidewall height in 65,speedo will be spot on,more common size than I have.

    I have no idea what load rating mine are, what are the options?

    On eBay there is a seller who is selling 265/60/18 and 265/65/18 for the same price of $349 (or $370 fitted in sydney). I bought mine from St George tyres in Arncliffe for $350 fitted, the cheapest I could find on the north side was $420!

    There is a very minor rub when on full lock, in reverse and I think I need a slope of sorts.. hardly anything i would worry about but it would stop me going any bigger.

    Load rating is written on the side of the tyre
