    Also, if anyone's got tuffant alloys it'd be good to hear how they've performed.

    Haven't had any issues at all with the Toyos and they still have a lot of life in them yet. Haven't been off road with them much compared with what I did on the previous Mickey T's, but they have handled everything I have put them through without problems. I've dropped them to less than 15psi in soft sand and we pulled out two bogged Toyotas and made it look easy enough to be very embarrassing for their drivers. They work very well in sand, and also climbing steep rock faces down near Esperance. A little bit of a hum on smooth bitumen around town now that they've got a bit of wear - but hardly noticeable at all. Can't hear them at all out on the highway at least at any speed up to ~ 130.

    The owner of the local tyre service who supplied them has told me that they are still by far his best seller into the mines around here, as they seem to outlast just about anything else - and he sells quite a few different brands. Definitely quieter than the Mickey T's I had on before these, and looking like they are easily going to outlast them as well.

    I thought I would drop an update on my AT experience on the D4 given this seems to be a perennial thread
    I fitted Tuffant steelies with Falken Wildpeak 265/65r18 and have travelled 26k KMs with them. No-one could balance them properly when I first fitted them 12 months ago and I would get a wobble in the steering wheel at speeds greater than 100. That has settled down now.
    That size tyre means I have to drop the pressure in the spare to about 8psi to fit it in and even so it is a struggle. The tow hitch also won't fit on the car...not a problem for me as I don't tow but if you do, steer clear of this size tyre.
    I get a little rubbing at the front on full lock. My indie checked what happens on the bump stops and apparently there is a little rubbing at the rear.
    The tyres are great; no excessive noise, handle well in the wet, perform really well off-road and on the highway. I haven't had any punctures yet but also haven't been through Central Australia with them Most of the off-road work I have done is on the NSW mid-north coast where the tracks are steep and tough.
    The wear seems okay...7mm tread remaining and I am rough on tyres.
