Hi cruisaderhilton, just had two of them fitted to my 100 series this afternoon. I asked around and got pretty good comments back. I' m a bit put out though as I paid $300 for mine at Tyrepower in Frankston in Melb. I was running Wrangler before but they don't seem to be around anymore but got good mileage out go them

I ran Yokohama Super Diggers in the NT for years,,, tried Geolandar when they were not available and found Geolandar VERY noisy

I run Kumho and love them make sure all the tyres on the 100 series are the same rolling diameter as they are constant 4 wheel drive and can stuff up the differentials if they are different sizes

The bigest concern would be the transfer box as well.
Thank you all for your comments about tyre size. I went out to check the diameter of my new and older tyres only to discover that they are not the same. So I have had to make straps to replace the rear tyres as well. I really did not fully think it through but the tyre guy should of said something about it.
Thanks to you all
Brian

Always check the year of manufacture. Once the tyres are around 7 years old they become dangerous !!If you don't know where to find the manufacture date on the tyres, ask your mechanic or tyre supplier to show you. Last year I had a blowout on the Ipswich Motorway. Very scary in a Motorhome. I replaced the tyre and at the same time, checked the date on remaining tyres. They were all around 7 years or over, so replaced 5 tyres inc. spare.
