    Has anyone tried the Yokohama Geolander A/T-S in 265/60 18?
    Yokohama / OUR TYRES / Geolandar A/T-S

    They look like they have a bit of aggression to them but claim to be quiet on the road too. I've had Yokos on a Triton before and was very happy with them.

    They are not on their website but are available.
    Fiendishly expensive but I am checking out importing directly from the US.
    At this stage this equates to about $330 per tyre including freight against approx $550.00 from Australia.

    Regards

    Not personnally, but from the reports on a D3 these would be my first choice if I can get 18" rims that fit my D4.

    I thought you could still fit chains if you went to a max of 265mm wide.

    Regards

    I got some firmer pricing from Tire Rack today.

    265 x 65 x 18 BF Goodrich All Terrain (true all terrain & light truck)
    $246.00 ea x 5 = $1230.

    + freight (Fed Ex)$ 363.28 (5-6 days ex US)

    Sub total $ 1593.28

    + 10% exchange rate $160.00 approx

    Should be about $1760.00 landed in AUS.

    If you ship in 2 consignments avoids GST

    I was quoted $550.00 each at Bob Jane - Preston.

    Significant savings!!!

    Can anyone see a problem with the size?

    regards

    Chuck

    IIRC (& often I don't!) they can rub on the raised section at the front of the rear inner guard where it budges to make room for the protective metal guard for the rear a/c and/or heater hoses. The metal guards can be hammered flat and the plastic slit and welded flat if you don't have rear a/c & heater.

    Will total freight cost be the same if the shipment is split?
