Gday peolpe,
Interested if anyone has fitted 275/70/17 tyres. With or without a lift? Couldnt find anything on the search. HAve been looking at BFG A/T's and Mickey Thompsons ATZ 4 Rib both in 265/70/17. HAd basically settled on the ATZ as love the look and the good things i hear about it on the bitumen. Also got quoted what i think is a pretty damn good price at $345 a tyre fitted and balanced. Almost forty five bucks cheaper than everywhere else.
Howerever then saw coopers do its ST in a 275/70/17. Would love a bit more height (still within the legal 50 mm limit) and would also fill out the arches once i get it lifted. After ringing around i got quoted an unbelievable $275 a tyre! Approx $125 cheaper than everywhere else! (the 265/70/17 was $250) Sounds too good to be true tho. Is there some catch im missing or have i just locked onto a crazily good deal? i think there is a six and ten ply version but still seems bloody cheap. According to their website it is an LT although rated at 114 not 121 like the mickey. What exactly qualifies an LT??? The load or the ply? Or does the ply determine the load? As you can see i am confusing the poop out of myself
I was also quoted $300 for BFG A/T's elsewhere ($40-100 cheaper than elsewhere) who told me some are made in Japan and some in US. According to him the Jap ones are shithouse. But the US ones unbreakable. (of course the "unbreakable" part is BS) Could this be why some dealers say there awesome and others say they have nothing but complaints?? Or is he just full of shit? I was almost sold anyway at that price until yet another dealer told me they were'nt LT at that size. The brochure says they are and ARB told me they are, until i asked him to double check and he came back saying they were'nt! Looked in the brochure again and found rated at 112 not 121 however still LT.
What the?????????? :? :? :?
Sorry for the fifty billion questions in one!!
Cheers, DEZ
