$$$ TYRES $$$

Hi there,

Trying to get my truck re-registered, and it needs new tyres, possibly even get some new rims aswell. Gotta pay rego, and roadie, and all the other works...

I have heard of people getting MTR's around the $300 mark, even less. What should I expect to pay for some 35's?

I can get them for around $330 a tyre at one place and he will even let me pay them off.

I have not been able to get onto any one else yet, as I am working nights in Rockhampton (i'm from Brisbane) and I have only just got into work.

Might even get some 15x8" rims aswell, alloys probably as I have been told the new Sunrasias hit stuff as the offset is not right, even though they say they are...

Any good alloy prices going at the moment or what? I don't know what they are worth.

Any help Appreciated.

$330 bucks sounds about right I payed $300 from blairs tyres but i think goodyear was about $360 a tyre 35"12.5` 15

300 a tyre is a real good price if you can find one

Can you register it on 35s without an eng. cert? Also, if your old rims are stock landcruiser (15x7), you'll need to go up to 15x8 or 16x8 to fit 35s i think (correct me if I'm wrong)

That's right V8 Middy, Standard 15x7s might have some trouble holding these tyres on, I have some 15x8 sunny's, but they are white, all my other barwork is alloy, would like to get something to match...

Or at least something other than white... Could spray them I suppose.

I would like a second set though, if anyone can verify that sizing issue.

Edit: Registration shouldn't be an issue though, i don't have to take my car in for rego... It will get a roadie with them though i should bet...

That's correct it's not legal with the 35's but if you can still get a roadworthy that's all you need to register it. Most mechanics will still give you one.

i'm in exactly the same boat as you meldge. i've been shopping around and arctic cool treads at rocklea (i know its not rocky, but hey) quoted me $305 each for 35x12.5x15 MT/R's and $65 for 15x8 sunrasias. no one i spoke to did lay buy though, which i was keen on. i dont have a clue about the offset issue although im keen to hear the results.

That's cool De-Lux, I'm from brisbane and that's where I will be getting them from...
$305 is not bad... I will have to hit my guy up about it, if he will drop to that price, i will see if i can get you on the pay off deal too hey... That should sweeten the deal for him... Even iff he can't as he said 330 was rock bottom for him. Would you be interested in 330, if you were able to pay them off. If he will, I have gone to him for all my gear, i think that is why he will do it for me but i can ask...

do you mean lay buy, or like a "drive away, pay later" kinda deal? i can get the drive away pay later deal, but i dont want to (i'm really bad with credit

) thats why i was interested in lay buy. but thanks for the offer none the less. i think i will do heaps of overtime at work and try to save over the next fortnight, and buy them outright. (either that, or buy them one at a time, over the next few weeks)

Depends what you want to do with them...but after extensive testing we have been impressed by the Nankangs..35 inch on a 16 for around $200.
Or you can go the Silverstone Xtreme for $300-$345.

Do they make th Nankang in a 35/12.5/15? And what do they call the Nankang mud tread?

I've got the tyres but was also thinking of going for some alloys. If any of you have some tips on where to get a good deal on 15x8 or 15x10 I'd love to hear them.

good thinking... but how do these tyres go on a truck as a daily driver? will they wear out in a fortnight, or will they go the distance like MT/R's?

was quoted $285 per corner for 35" MTR's a couple of weeks ago down here in Melb from our local Tyrepower dude....do you have Tyrepower up there?...I know the price was pretty keen, but shows they can go there if they need the sale. BTW Bob Jane three doors up was 360 plus :roll:

page 203 in the latest 4wd monthly (december 2004 - issue no. 74) is an advert for marks 4wd adaptors. no mention of tyres... but i'll take your work for it.

the silverstone MT117 sports will be available in a 35" soon and should be under $300 and will also be a good tyre

to consider

Get out the yellow pages and phone around for a quote. The guys on the other end know that when you finish talking you'll be ringing the next shop on the list, so they'll prolly ask "what's the best price you have so far", and say whether they can match it or not. Sometimes they are keen to move old stock.

As for the alloys, when I was up in Rocky a few months ago getting a puncture repaired I was blown away how cheap the prices for the wheels were up there, at least in the place I went to.
