Which tyre 255/60/18

[Bluepippa]

I know this has been covered before, but I can't find the thread
I need some new rubber and don't know which way to go.. I've been told to change to 265/60/18 as there will be more choice. I'm after a good all rounder for highway and off road..
What are the current recommendations?

Cheers

D697s

X2 and go 265/60/18

Bridgstone have them for $360ea if you buy 5, actually Jobsons at Taren Point gave us a further $10 off fitted and balanced

Retail is $384.

You can have my Pirelli Scorpion ATRs with about 10k on them.

I've got some 17 inch rims, so I am going to get some off road rubber for them and go back to a road based tyres the for the 18 inch rims.

I was looking at the Continental Crosscontact LX - not sure if anyone has tried them, but they might be too road based for you

Only one problem with the ATR, they are not LT construction.

Smooth and quiet on the road keep true on the straights and seems to have great control in corners..
I only go a bit of gravel and sand so I'm after a roadie mainly and these are magic ..
time will tell on tyre wear as suggested in some online reviews but they are heaps quieter than the retired (road biased) Road Ventures. There are not hard core offroad by any means but well suited to my usage.
Hope that's of some use?

Sorry - came in late on this one... I got 265/60/R18 Mickey Thompson BAJA STZ fitted to my 2010 D4 about three months ago. Since then, I have covered several 1000K on bitumen, three trips to the bush on Tassie's East Coast (think pasture, fire trail, dirt) and two trips on the soft NE Coast sand. Will simply say they are brilliant! LT construction, quiet on road, aggressive tread for offroad and strong valve construction. From memory, $1600 fitted and balanced (TJM Hobart, but Jaxxx tyres gave even better price - simply couldn't get there).
Awesome tyre - a new release too that many distributers say don't exist because it isn't in the catalogue! Well, they're on my car! After standard Wranglers and a set of Pirellis, never going back...

The Mickey is not LT construction. Only P construction - 110 load rating.

Been out for about 3 years now.

Curious - valve construction?

Agreed - my first set of AT's but I'm happy.
