Re: Replacement Tyres
Don't place too much weight on the handheld GPS systems.
Remember these are only sub-meter systems at best.
Do any of the tyre companies have any speed testing machines? These I would expect would be the most accurate.

Re: Replacement Tyres
Jalal,
I can see why you couldn't find the brand, it's bcause the tyre is not a circle, nice doctoring work, almost fooled me.
I saw a set of BF Gooodrich All Terrains on my cousing madza bravo today. Looks an awesome tyre. His had 40000km and still looked like new. I've always liked the white writing on tyres, so I guess I know what my next set of tyres will be. Even if they are slightly ove $300 per tyre, seems they still worth ever cent.

Over $300/Tyre!!! Wow, they sure are expensive, I thought xtrailing paid $600 for his when he bought his xtrail? or was that a difference he had to make-up for to get these tyres instead of the OEM ones?
If the above price is correct, I think I'll stick to the Pirelli's

Re: Replacement Tyres
As my cousin explained to me, his were also a wider profile and would only fit on mag rims.
Perhaps this is why they are over $300?

Re: Replacement Tyres
Noel, my BFG's cost me $600 after trade in of new tyres, but were fitted by dealer & on car when I took delivery. Price of them down here is approx $275ea fitted & balanced (Price of things up North must be much dearer as I read the thread on exhaust tips & my complete rear replacement muffler & twin tips was under $200!!). This basically gave $100ea tradein for the bridgestones. BFG's do not need mags to be fitted to.

Re: Replacement Tyres
Phil,
Did you have to buy 5 tyres or you kept the spare as Bridgestone?

Re: Replacement Tyres
Jalal, kept standard bidgestone as spare. I think my calculations were wrong in last post, must have been $250/tyre for BFG's. It was $275ea for 265/70/16 for the discovery.
