How long until #1 son drives over a roofing screw once the new tyres are fitted?
I have BFG KO2's on my car now, just over 3yrs old, got about 8-10mm left on them, screech around every corner and feel like they are made of plastic... driving/braking in the wet is dangerous.
My current tyres (new on car when we bought it) are 30000 k's in and prob half worn and I am already getting ready to change to the Toyo Open Country I just love them and they have never let me down on my previous cars. Current quote I have for 265/65/17's is $220 a tyre fitted.
That’s really cheap. Are you getting the LT casing? You tow a trailer from memory but maybe not much off road?
Yup rated to 1250kg a tyre
That’s good then. Are you buying new rims as well? I’ve never bought new rims with tyres but I’ve heard it can be more economical after a couple of sets of tyres given the premium you seem to pay for less rubber (larger diameter rims).
I am still on the fence about rims at the moment - I think if I do it I want prettier ones as well.
Not worth it for $400 AND your old rims.
And tyres…unless they’re fully flogged.
Axles too? Rough.
That's Woodridge.
I’m still reeling from seeing the new defender. I’m ashamed to have ever owned and loved one.
130" wheelbase model being released again. Subtle and as elegant as a ballerina with club feet. I forgot, fucking expensive too.
It’s a joke. It’s everything the defender shouldn’t be. Other than expensive.
Not anymore. Was interested originally in what it would look like. Looks OK but wouldn't touch it with a barge pole until the potential engine issues are found and sorted out, that will be 3-4 years away.
What’s the history of the 3.3? Completely new or proven reliable / dud in other chassis / markets already?
It's a new engine, supposedly going into a GR Hilux and possibly the Tundra when it comes to Oz to compete with the influx of Murican Utes we are currently seeing.
