CM - please, PLEASE tell ur bro to start bringing in the Pirelli Scorpions ATR's in 265/70r16's on a regular basis.

He will have a good market for it, trust me.

And ask about the Cooper Zeon LTZ's as well - the 20-inch all terrains.

Saw some 275's Terra Trac on a Nav yesterday, the rims were not the original, but still looked like 16 inch.

Not sure how he got that to fit.. but I know the front wheelwell of the Nav looks like you could fit a tiida in there.

a Ruteless Tiida :?:

275 not that much bigger than 265, so it should fit easy

yeah, well the 265 already touches on the ranger, so 275 is an absolute no.

That is...until I have the gall to lift it and void the warranty..

m'eh, i dunno nah I still waiting for fecking Quikserve to bring in some stock for the BFG's. Might as well go make a downpayment for a set cuz those things sell like hotcakes.

PM me and we'll talk.
No worries though, the tyres still in brand new condition, only 3 weeks old. Stock dunlops that come with the Navara.

3 yes u say... Ours lasted about 8 months or so, or about 20000 Km. Thats one year of normal driving... Performance of m/t tyres drop drastically when the treadwear gets about 25% depth...

Don't know about compared to other mt tyres but they are very loud over stock tyres

Again I would not advise anyone to get mud tyres unless ur pockets deep and/or u really require them for ur application.

Does anyone know who in trinidad sells these?

General Grabber AT/2

They seem like a cheaper alternative to the BFG's, yet they give excellent dry/wet performance and above-average off-road performance, and above-average mud performance too.
