New Wheels

Hi Guy's & Girl's,
Just bought a set of steel wheels to fit my Pajero & new Camper Trailer (matching) for off road travel, now all I need is a set of off road tyre's to suit both units. We have had Bridgestone 694 LT'S on the tow tug and had no puncture's in 60,000k of 50/50 road use. Want to go with them again but just quoted $330/ tyre. Any alteratives will be considered.
Thanks for your replies

Many, many, many threads on this.

BFG AT's. That is all.

D694's are good gear, had 'em on my Triton.60k and another 30k left when I sold it.

Been looking at Dick Cepek FC2, mate got them, he thinks they are ok.

Have the 694's on the Paj (std not the LTs). Just got a couple of LTs. Waiting on the specials again. Usually about $280 on sale.

Very happy with them. Good in the wet , on dirt and sand.

Happy to stick with them even though they are expensive (265/65/17).

Good luck finding BFG ATs

We are drop in the ocean in BF's market and last on list of exports. They are prioritising their market which is understandable so not sure if the demand is high over there at the moment or they are giving us the bird, because the waiting period of some sizes is a joke.

BFG's x heaps, but you'll be waitin for awhile.

Thats a bastard....so whats the next best readily available alternative?

Paul Mac · June 11, 2011, 04:24:00 PM

Depends on what model Pajero you have. If its a NS or NT then the tyres are 18's and $330 is cheap.

I had a set of A/T Yokohama Geolander 12 tyres fitted to my NS about 18 months ago and got them for $400 each which was at a discount at the time. Mind you, I am extremely happy with the tyres after nearly 40,000km and still going strong.

Cheers

Bridgestone D694LT

Sorry I forgot to mention the size 265x65x17.on NS. Been ringing around and all prices on D694LT's are within +/-$20
Will look at BFG's next week
Thanks again
also told to look at Mickey Thompson's

Dion · June 11, 2011, 08:50:48 PM

D694LTs on my NT Pajero in 17". Great tyre, very happy with them.

Burnsy · June 11, 2011, 10:13:25 PM

There are quite a few people buying BFG tyres from the US now. You can get them shipped to here for less than you can buy them here and it gets rid of the no BFG's available problem.

Email them to find out shipping cost to you.

Hi,

I did read yours are 17" and not sure if available in the Nexen Rodian AT II however I have a Landcruiser with these in 15" X 31's and have over 30,00km's on-board and still looking very strong. With many on dirt, rock, mud, wet red dirt and beach am very impressed @ $140 per corner fitted, balanced and disposal. A cheap and quiet option.

Yes before I start an argument BFG's and Mickey's are better but at 2 times the price???

Cheers and Beers

Tony
