Bushranger doesn't exist yet, Mog's use Dunlop (simular to BIG JT 1's), The only Mog variant to use Mich's is the Recov Mog. The ASLAV uses XML's but the they are 325/85 15r.
BJ's I have to go and look at a wrecker to find the exact size but it would be close to 54' or do you already know what size they are?

The Bushmaster past reliability testing on 7/03/03 with ADI at Bendigo producing 7 Bushmasters for the ADF in Late 2001 early 2002 for these reliability trials Some of these vehicles being used in East Timor. The full roll out of the Bushmaster will comences during 2003 with 299 vehicles being delivered from this time until 2007.
As for Mogs not using Michilan rubber the ADF has a supply contract with Michilan since 1992 and have trialed and used Michilan tyres in a number of applications including Mog and other light to medium vehicles why do you think this tire was brought into Australia for a upgrade to the standard 100 series landcruiser.

Mine are not Michelins. They measure 52" by approx 15" wide. 24" rim. they weigh 198lbs each.
The XZL's weigh in at approx 350lbs.
Too Farking Heavy I think. Thats 60-70 Kg's Heavier

As I said the bushdabator doesn't exist. When we see it we will believe it I don't give a rats what ADI (another dumb idea) are doing. The reason the ADF has a supply contract since 1992 is because we have had ASLAV in service since funnily enough 1992. The vast majority of mogs run Dunlops. The only other mog variant that I have seen with Mich's is the 6X6 recov truck. The only other vehicle that I know of that has em as well are the LET's . There is a newer tyre around but it aint a X series mich. I will have a look.
As I will see 6 RAR in the next few weeks I will ask em when they are getting their armoured taxi's if it is like all the other shiz they make maybe 2010. MAYBE
