I have found a place I can get Goodyear custom grip 750x16 tyres which are equ. to 33's new for $50 each on the north side of brissy. I have found that these tyres are excellent offroad but do make a bit of noise on the highway ! they were used on the landy's by the military and all are ex. government bought through auction !! If any of you landy owners are interested that is !!

i thought the army used Olympic Steel trek tyres on there vechicles replacing the old bar treads. ive got olympics on my 110 1/2 ton army trailer. i also know where you can get a heap of these tyres in the range of 30 - 60 bucks on the northside of brisbane, try the goodyear tyre shop at caboulture, he's got a load of them second hand, plenty of tread and there in good nick too.

The Extra Grips are a much harder compound than the army Olympics, the army bar treads work OK on sand, the Extra Grips etc do not but last a lot longer. Keep a set of Road Grippers for the beach, better yet get some disco rims and some 265/75's, maybe even 255/85x16's
