    Tyres - economy mud pattern wanted

    It has probably been done to death but..............

    I am looking at aggressive tread in 7.5016 or 235/85/R16 but don't want to spend a fortune because it is for my budger RR bush basher.

    Any suggestions for the tight fisted 4wder?



    I have Cooper ATR 225/75/R16 on her at the mo, less than 500kms travelled, still with nipples on side walls. Any offers?

    Sime konvoy in a 750x16 are tough and agressive, and cheap if you can get them. not sure if they are made any more though, otherwise the GT radial x grip is similar.

    if they are only for play then bandag do some good rubber but I wouldnt trust them for heavy loads at speed.

    the tyre shop I normally goto (Jax tyres in ipswich) is giving me nexxans at 220ish a pop.

    If you've benefited from one or more of my posts please remember, your taxes paid for my skill sets, I'm just trying to make sure you get your monies worth.
    If you think you're in front on the deal, pay it forwards.

    Try your local big Toyota dealer. They might be able to help if they sell LC utes that have the split rims & 7.50R16 Dunlops removed prior to sale.

    My local Toyota dealer supplies the mine companies. The mines have the split rims removed for something else & the tyre shop nearby sells the rims & tyres for around $120 each.


    Or you can do what I do - keep an eye on the various forum classifieds for used tyres. I bought a set (4) of good 7.50R16 Dunlops on rims for $100.
    I then sold the rims/tubes for $66 on ebay.
