I'm new to the site and look forward to learning a lot! Will be taking delivery my new 3.0 D4D S/C 4x4 on Wednesday
I travel a lot of gravel roads and my bakkie is fitted with Bridgestone Dueler D840's, I need to sell them and get A/T tyres. What can I expect to get for 5 brand new ones? (255/70/15)

Welcome Christo.
If you are getting a brand new bakkie go negotiate with the tyre dealers before you drive it off the floor. Sometimes you will be lucky that they will take the standard tyres on the vehicle and pay you almost what they are worth or sometimes they will even swop you for what you want, just depends on the price difference.

When your road comes to an end ...... you need a HILUX!.

Dankie vir al die raad manne, ek het toe met TWT en Supaquick gaan praat. Hulle altwee sê hulle kan my net 800 +VAT per tyre gee. Ek gaan dit maar doen, en dan 31 x 10.5 x 15 Hankook A/T opsit. Dink julle die verskil in groote gaan my bakkie laat swakker trek? Moet ek eerder 30 x 9.5 x 15 opsit?
If you don't own an FJ Cruiser you probably won't understand...

Welcome Christo. With 31x10.5x15 you will be running closer to true speed & probably still smaller than Tuna's & double cabs, which are coming out with bigger wheels & lower profile tyres. I have done the same with my S/C and do not notice any difference, though I am heavily loaded.
