Even if it was central, left and right tyres would still be required.

Edit: Yes, they do use silica compound.

at least they might be another option for those of us who were silly enough to buy a fourby with 18 inch rims
email sent to goodyear to check avail in aus

simple solution sell the 18's?

i have a pajero and their has been a couple of sets on ebay with little or no interest maybe they were overpriced dunno
18 inch tyres are pretty limited for choice and are so expensive (17's can be up to $100 each cheaper) i dont think anyone really wants them

got an email back from goodyear and dont expect to see them in aus before sep

then put them in the shed until you sell it with nice shiney rims and tires, and buy some 16inch rims which are another $100 cheaper than 17's usually...

their is a few of us at the pajero forum trying dam hard to find 16's that will fit a ns lwb
ive tried triton alloys and aftermarket patrol alloys but they are too thick where the caliper is and i havnt been able to find a steel so far.
and yes 16's opens up a whole new world of options for tyres

Yeah probably in the US as they seem to only want 22" rims etc.

They used to do the "old" MT/R's in a 37x12.5/15, wha about the new ones?

I had 35's on the old Mav' and they were great!!

.

they won't need a left and right as they are Asymmetrical which means they have an inside and an outside, they tyre will fit either left or right side but need to be fitted the right way up on the rim

yep, only a few runnin em.

From another forum

[QUOTE=GQ.gq;303601]yeh i got em in 35x12.5x15
Got them for a good price staff discount from a mate so thought id try them out, they were cheaper than the old pattern. they actually look pretty good, i have them on black sunraysias.
I have had them on all surfaces..
they are pretty quiet on road, probably due to the narrow band of tread and cornering they are pretty noisy.

Been on a few beaches with them at 15 psi they bagged nicely and sat up on the sand pretty well, was in rear along Stockton beach.

Mud, surprisingly well. Clear mud from tread better than the old pattern.
Rock, good, as they are pretty soft compound.

I got them for 305 bucks each
recommend them.[/QUOTE]
