The Wildpeaks get fantastic reviews all around, however when I was hunting I discovered the 265/65/18 isn’t the LT construction.
I went with the Ridge Graps in that size. They look fantastic however Bob Jane did a horrible alignment and I didn’t pick up on it initially. Front left wore unevenly and has been noisy since new. I had Bridgestone do a second alignment about 4000kms later and the toe was about 7% out. Very upsetting.
Since the second alignment and a rotation they have become quieter and quieter. Got about 10000 on them and overall I’m happy - I’m sure with a good alignment and well tuned front end they’d be a long lasting tyre for how aggressive they are.
I’d hardly worry that they aren’t LT. They have thicker, stronger construction than many LT.
They will run nicer too.
I have had 265/60/18 Wildpeaks on my D3 for the last year or so, and for the price, have been brilliant both onroad and offroad.
Life is just a series of obstacles preventing you from taking a nap.
Some truth in that but I do get comfort in having a 122 load rating in that size. Heavy duty carcass irrespective of ply 'rating' is the go. Wildpeak are a very good tyre although I wouldn't get them unless they had the LT rating for what I do. For many people an LT carcass is just overkill. Cheers
I ordered 4 x 19” Duratracs; switching from Maxxis 980. Not sure why other than I wanted a change.
2x Maxxis 980 with 20% wear coming to market shortly. PM if interested.

I had a mate with a D3 running that model Maxxis to Cape York. They did well. I love Duratracs. Would have got them in 265/65/18 but they are not a light truck set up in that size and I am very happy so far with the Nitto in LT. Cheers
Had the Nittos on dirt yesterday. They grip like the proverbial to a sock. Fantastic at speed. Cheers
