What's the size? For 13" rims? I've heard that Toyos aren't too bad for the price.

If they're good enough for the Baja 1000 I dare say they'll be good enough for Brumbles too. They look pretty chunky too.

I say do it. Go the 185s.

yeah thats what i thought 185s but how do you think thay would handle on the road as the car gets used for the road to

Look, I don't really know so I'm talking out my ass here, but I can offer you an opinion:

I drive on BFG Mud Terrains every day. The only time I know I'm driving on mud tires (and they are the best street-approved Muddies you can buy) is sometime around corners they howl and also can be a little squirly in the wet, especially with an EJ20 torturing them in front wheel drive.

My guess would be that Toyo, who have spent millions on improving their offroad profile in the last year, would be right up there with Ben Franklin's finest.

used to buy them tyres for 13"(without the F in 720F)
good tyres, esp off-road, bit noisy on road but great grip.
looks like they gone up by about $10 then, as compared to maybe 5-6 years ago,so i suppose thats still a ok price......

Went to town and got some.. had a tyre that continuously was leaking plus the other three were on their last legs, so got some new tyres. Ute looks perdy .. he he

I'd put a photo up but don't know how to.

First impressions.. not bad. Not as grippy as a normal road tyre so had to back it off round a couple of local bends but that was to be expected.
Bit of noise from the knobs (that statement works on several levels) but it's not too bad.

Now, let's see how they wear and how they play[/img]
