awsome tires u wont be disapointed
hook up good and bag well wen let down
strong sidewalls and good on the road

i have a set of 37's forsale if your intrested

they could be a dad too big on a stocker. love to do work on it but just got married and sydney is a high $ place to live

$230 is expensive i payed $241 fitted and balenced for 33/12.5s
shop around get the best price then go somewhere local that they will match it. Most buerepairs will match prices

another option very similar to the MTR is the Cooper STT Armor-Tek... i have some going on my zuk shortly and they look and feel shit hot!

I have recently put a set of 31 mtrs on my zook and couldn't be happier with the grip on rocks and dirt. you could probably get a better price if you shop around. mine were 210 a tyre fitted and balanced with 50 bucks free fuel.

i loved the MT/Rs on my vitara. had 235's, then 31"s, then 33"s.

even way up here in darwin, a 31" would go for about 210ish, and a 32" is about 250ish. i got my 33"s for about 240ish each. so shop around beacuase you most probably will find a better deal.

i got about 75,000Ks out of the 235s. maybe look into a 31" MT/R rather than the 30". maybe another thing to look out for is what rims you are using. if you are using stock ones, then maybe the 30"s will be better. for a 235 (29") min rim width was 6". and so a 31" 'should' have a 7" or wider rim. my mate has my old 31"s on stock 5.5" rims. no problems.... yet. maybe aldo be a legality thing, like insurance etc etc.

I have 30x9.5 MTRs on my zook.
It is stock standard except for 1" longer shackles.
It clears them fine I just had to pound the inner guards with a BFH and chop the bumper mounts a bit.
You will wish for lower transfer gears though (I know I do).
As for MTRs they are great! as well as the ones on my zook I have 33s on my lux and I will be fitting 35s soon.
Good on road wet or dry. Good offroad on everything except for the really goopy mud where you need super aggressive tyres (swampers, pedes etc).
Paul.

*edit* forgot to add I got my 30" MTRs for $200 each

I'm looking at some 30x9.5' s for my suzi too.. can get them for 189 each or 1200 bucks for 5 with 5 new sunnys all fitted and balanced over here in SA

They will rub on bullbar/bumper mounts. will need to trim these a little. also need to hammer back the seem on the back end of the wheel arch. if you want to stop your tyres getting mashed every now and then id also hammer back the metal edge on the inside of the flares, not too much though.

Yep, you cant go wrong with the mtr's! I put 30's on mine afew months ago and have no complaints what so ever, they have pulled me up hills and out mud where others have struggled. As said you need to cut the bumper mounts and extended shackles help. It may pay to do that before getting them fitted, i had an interesting drive home avoiding corners so it didnt rub!

Beaurepairs are the best price around, $180 a tyre. As polar_bear said $1200 for five and thats with speedy sunraysia's! you want speedy not roh otherwise they might rub on the front springs.

Polar_bear you know you want them, do it, do it now!

Ok, i have just put a set of 31 desert dualers on my daily driver 4x4 courier and they absolutly love the road, so they probalbly love ther rocks as well ! They dont have an open tread pattern so probably dont do the mud to well but for 31's i cant beleive how well they go.

They are 31x10.5x15.....should be a serious option for 31's, there cheap, bag awsome and grip well on high traction surfaces.

i have a set of 37's forsale if your intrested

must b good if yer selling them

YEH but they also make 40"s

i have found thet they are great to start with but after a while they go hard in the compound.. then it turns to shiiiiitteeeee

i got those tyres on my zook 210 each and with a 2" spring lift i had to cut the bumper a little.

the shops dont want to go any lower then $230 fitted balanced and wheel alignment (started at $270 ) because at bob jane they have 12 months intrest free on atm and beaurepairs have 15 months

thats why ur payin so much for em cause of the dodgy finance,

Buy on finance you pay whatever they feel like charging you.

Pay for it when you can afford it or use a credit card.

If you cant afford it use what you've got. You're still obviously driving on them ok.

im not driving my car atm i stopped 4 times from bris to std to put air in two tyres plus they have done 50000 km in just under 2 years(i like to drive alot)so i need new ones any way . how much will 30 put my speedo out by

geez cheapest i could find them around here was $225 for 235/75's, dam ripoffs

Yeah i'm gonna get some too i've seen your tyres at work and i'm suitably impressed but they should be more impressive with twin lockers

i got 30's on mine and it puts my speedo out about 15 when doing a hundred im really doin 115 but thats about all i know i drive to what i think is the speed most of the time anyway lol

Beaurepairs should do you a good deal what beaurepairs i will see if my mates can call them and have a word

Thats where i got mine $210 fitted and balanced and they even whacked my desert deullers on another set of rims for me and done wheel alignment also

I'm jealous

I checked My speedo with my gps and its out by 9km per hour.
So when i'm doing 60, i'm actually doing 69 .

I just make sure i'm doing 10km below what the speed limit is.

When your speedo is out its out by a percentage so it will be 9ks out at 60 and 18 at 120 etc etc.

so when i'm doin 180, i'm really doind 207?

beaurepairs in parramatta got the job for $220. i had one bloke from hornsby beaurepairs tell me that i was hearing things when i told him parra said $220 so i asked him how good his hearing was and hung up on him

from what i have seen them do they are a great tyre
