I'm shore you could get them cheaper somewhere else

Thanks Tim,

I think size might be the issue now... but that looks like a good place to start.

I personally would go for Mickey Thompson MTZ, I run their ATZ at the moment in LT245/75R16.

There is always interest free as well, I still got a good deal on my ATZ through Jax Tyre Fit in Epping, always cheaper than the competition each time I've got quotes.

Thanks Pete, might give them a call.

So even new BFG Muds may be out of range at the moment.

If I have to choose between school fees and the BFG's..... I think the missus might not be amused if I chose the muddies

Don't know what they are really like in the mud but Goodyear Wrangler MTR's have been popular up here and I have not heard of issues with them. Seem to be a tad cheaper than some.

Maxxis Bighorns;

Federal MTs

These are around the $200 to $240 in 265/75, 245/75, 235/85 and 255/85 Maxxis only

Mark,
All of the Silverstone MT117 Extremes are 15"s except for the 35x10.5, and I don't think 15" rims fit a disco 2, so that counts them out. If you are only going with something like a BFG mud or a MTZ, then I wouldn't bother running two sets of tyres these they shouldn't effect the handling that much and you should get a few k's out of them. I friend of mine swears that BFG Muds handle better on wet bitumen than BFG AT's! If you still want to run two sets, then I would get the most aggressive tyre that you can afford, as you can never have too much grip. Perhaps a set of 32" Simex, as they are actually closer to a 33", and are taller than a Silverstone 33x10.5x15.

Don;t think they'll be available anymore at all seeing as Motorway tyres has shut its doors

I have used heaps of their tyres here in the past as we put sticks and sharp rocks through tyres here before they wear out I'm a bit sad they pulled the pin.
