$583? Is that a set or for each?

Divide $583 by however many you consider a set and ask yourself if you'd be happy driving your D3 on rubber costing that amount ;-)


Yes that's each. However, if you buy 5 you should get a discount. But budget for freight, fitting and balancing too.

Got 5 GG'S FOR $380 each fitted and balanced from DOG TYRED at Kallangur
$2 cheaper per tyre than 18 months ago.
got 92,000Ks out of the first lot, rotate every 10,000.

Looks like the prices are higher in the US.
Check out Wranglers. Remember the prices exclude tax and fitting.

Look through 'em mate , they're nearly all heaps less ......
CC's , Pirelli's , GG AT'2 (just).......
Fitting is 10 bucks ( I'm advised ) & shipping $20

ie. Cross Cons are AUS$441 here vs. AUS$288 fitted in Ca.
......US $183 + 10 + 20 + 8.5% at 80cents US.
This mob aren't the cheapest I believe

...... Am I having a senior moment , A ?

The retailers on D3UK have similar prices on this like for like , as far as I read.
The Alloys are similarly competitive .


These look interesting ;

They have tougher walls ..... you know all about kerb pinching as is remember .. 109t rated so pass the requirement ..... don't have a price yet.

Then it's on with the Sliders etc. and madness begins

Can't say I'm a fan of big tyres though. An extra 1.5 - 2 inches of diameter takes a brave person, short rods and a lump hammer ( to the wheel linings ).

Decision made. Pirelli Scorpian ATR @ $390 each. Good price and good reviews. Next choice was the Geolander but the best deal I can get is $420.

Excellent Mark, I'm glad there is a tyre test dummy for us to ask about non-GG tyres when I'm ready to replace mine. Hope they work well for you.

Cheers, Steve
