Spot on Max. They come from the "light truck radial product" range, it will be interesting to see how they perform as, so far as I can tell, they are a budget tyre - the only tyre I found cheaper round here was a Kings (?) MT at $145.

I'm thinking about it, but I'll wait till I get used to the roadholding with these tyres as is.

I'd still feel a lot safer in the water with one.
Also for the cleaner air - my brand new air filter was packed with dust from following XSI last Sunday!

So which snorkel are you getting tommorow?

I find it astounding that this car was stock standard less than 2 months ago
Dave your admirable. You must be living on Baked Beans

That sounds like a top trip Bryce i wish i was able to come, with any luck marcos and i will get out on a few next year. It looks like we have changed our plans again so we will be around here for a few more years so i will not miss out on a trip with you. Matt

Thats good Matt, there will be plenty of them out our way & you know you will always be welcome.

Shame you couldn't make this trip not overly challenging but a couple of hills thrown in to keep you on your toes, then again if it rains then this trip gets real interesting, maybe next year mate , the Ophir end can get very interesting I got awfully hung up in a huge torrent of water in Summer Hill Creek with an interesting rescue, lot of fun though.

I cant wait getting sick and tired of being stuck in the house weekends next year maros will be more up to the day trip thing so if stacey is still working at the servo we can at least get out for the day trips. Matt
