Try someone like bob jane but you'll find you may have to call them as obviously they wont have all the tyres they stock on the web.
If you dont have any luck with them call an ARB outlet. They should be able to help.

hey,
I too have been looking at tyres for about 3 weeks now and i am just as confused now as when i started. Are you looking for that particular brand of tyre because there are millions of bloddy tyres and different brands. I'm now tossing up between BFG AT 215/75/15 and Yokahama KO AT 225/70/15 both ranging around $220 at bob jane tmarts

yeah im looking at that particular brand they are what is on the car now
and read a review on them here
http://www.4x4review.com/products/tires/atgrabbers.asp
and they seem pretty good
plus there meant to be allot cheaper then the other brands.
the ones on the car now are 30x9.5r15LT
and i like them cause they look pretty beefy
anyone know where to find them ? rang around heaps today and no one has them. :(

If ya want the 'Beefy' look, just do a 2" body lift, wind the torsion bars up a little, get some longer shackles for the rear springs and run some 31's !!
When mine was standard, I found a good cheap tyre....the Kelly Safari range....I think they were 'bout $180ea NEW. I was running the MTR pattern in a 31x10.5R15. An excellent tyre, they were swapped for my current tyres...35" Centipedes.
What is the type of driving you do the most (H'way/Mud/Rocks/Sand) ??
This should be the determining factor when buying new tyres

Philby, the Cooper Discoverer A/T is worth a look too- they also come in 235/70R15 which is the maximum legal size increase allowed legally in most states.

The 235/70R15 should cost around $200 and will fit on the standard rim.

Or you could just go to ARB and get a set of 31x10.5x15 Mickey Thompson Radial Baja Claws at $260 a tyre....
They look pretty beefy!!!!
