Another tyre only (to my knowledge) available on a 17" rim which adds significantly to the cost.

That aside, I'd also be pretty curious as to any local reviews.
I'm not very good looking, so I guess I better be useful . . .

They have them at pro-comp down here... locky would know. Cheezy aswell. However that wont help up north.

BFG has also brought out the 17" A/T for the prado market.
Cheers,
Dan.

If you are worried about the sidewall strength of the krawler, you will have the same issues with the mtr.

I think all the rubber compounds are very similar between the krawlers, pro comp x-terains, iroks and the mtrs.

Yes but a MTR is a Shait load cheaper than the Krawler and also easier to get!

Meaning i won't be as pissed off when i destroy one. Also i would be able to buy more MTR's to cover any weakness's.

ATM i am looking at all the different options that may suit my need!!

TSL
MTR
Krawlers
Irok's

Which ever one give me the best bang for the buck than that the way i will look at going!

The 40 inch MTR isnt that much cheap! Dont forget the cost of 17 inch wheels on top of the tyres.

I think it would be a toss up between the IROK or the TSL. The TSL would be a stronger tyre that would probably stand up to the most abuse, the IROK would take a better beating than the mtr or krawler and have better outright grip than the TSL.

Yes i have been reading about all four tyres and who uses them on Pirate and i have come to that conclusion aswell!

Also are the Krawlers that we get here the COMP krawlers of the normal ones the sell to the public, i have been told that there is a difference!

as far as i know the krawlers are just the over the counter ones.

Pro Comp in Melbourne are supposed to be bringing in the COMP spec x-terrains, 40 on a 20inch rim.

Who here in Oz is selling Krawlers to the public? At the recent Queanbeyan 4WD show Quick Fit tyres had a Krawler on display. The guy told me it was the only one that Michelin had brought into the country. I offered him $400 bucks for it but he said that Michelin would kill him if he lost it! :)

Also told me that we *could* see them here mid-year but if I really wanted some I should probably look into buying them from the US and shipping them myself. Or if I knew a few others who wanted them, he might help out with a private import.

You dont want an MTR! Cant go past the TSL or the TSL/SX for strength.

I love my TSLs :armsup:

They are fairly soft and when they get a bit of heat into them they stick like sh!t to a blanket ;)

And they take a beating and come back for more :cool:

They bag nicely at low pressures aswell.

I can't fault them

Yeah I've only driven on the boggers twice but I've fallen for them. They ARE the shit as far as I am concerned. And if anybody can tell me otherwise - I don't want to know as I'm still sore from the purchase.

I think, what you'll find is that a lot of the manufacturers have a head office in Australia and that the distributors deal with them..... Therefor they are dealing in Australian Currency.
Also don't know if the manufacturer is having price rises etc.
