Michelin replacement

Update,

The place that quoted me $495 ea for the Michelin XPC's is Global Tyres ph 03 9495 1033.

I'm sure they're available elsewhere aswell.

Someone convinced me to get TOYO Open Country A/T for the P38.

I'm glad they did. These are excellent all round tyres. Very smooth on the freeway (= no noise), and a better than average off road tread pattern.

Highly recommend them, and very good value at about $240 each.

Check out your local second-hand tyre dealers. One of them wil be able to match the XPC and in a similar tread depth to your own. I used them to match a 255/65R16 tyre on my P38A after I shredded a tyre.

BTW, what is your spare like and is it on a steel rim? In other words, is it a Michelin XPC that can be swapped to the replace the damaged tyre and then you put the replacement on the spare?

It's a pity you're not in Sydney. I have quite a few 2nd hand XPCs ranging from near new to 1/2 worn or so.

I also have a virtually new set of Simex HT tyres for the P38 which I would like to see gone. 3 have less than 500km, the other about 5000km.

I have 1 factory michelin in new condition PM me if your interested

I don't know if this is going to help but;

Michelins from Thomastown Tyres were $570 each,

Suitable Coopers were $250 each (Forgot what style but Highway suited)

Nexen HT 255 65/16 from Northend Tyres Gladstone Park $175 each fitted.

I have bought the Nexen's but not fitted them yet as I have a few thousand k's left on the Michelins.

And I ONLY use my P38 on road towing our yacht.

85 Classic is for off road down 'n' dirty

Happy to post thoughts on the Nexens when they get fitted

Cheers
