What tyres to buy - Page 4

I see Hankooks are mentioned int he posts above - which model will that be? AT or Muds? I need to replace tyres soon as the Coopers are done and I do not want to buy another set of Coopers - too much road noise IMO.

Ok, here are the best prices I could get on 265/75/16's:

BFG AT: R2450
BFG Muds: R2450
Hankook AT: R2100
Hankook Muds: R2300
Mich LTX: R2516
Kumo AT: R2100
Kumo Muds: R2500

Eish, I hoped it would be cheaper than that

Still hunting for the best price:

BFG AT 265/75/16 x 4 @ R9300 - incl. VAT, fitment and alignment.

Just like a bottle of "Famous Grouse", a set of BFG ATs is a bargain at any price!

PS Why 4 (and not 5)?

I agree on the Grouse bit, but man, paying R10,000 for 4 tires is a lot harder to swallow than lekker whiskey!

I have a new spare tire (not BFG) but I did not need it the past 70,000km - so to spend another R2000 just to have the tires look the same is not worth it for me. I will buy a 2nd hand BFG if/when a tire is damaged beyond repair.

OK, down to R2200/BFG AT!

Just call me the bargain hunter!: R1930/BFG AT 265/75/16

I managed to find The Yokohama AT-S (GO-12) for sale at R1550 per tyre for 265/70R16 at the local Maxiprest dealer (I think they call themselves MAX Tyres or something these days). I fitted four of these and am very happy and probably set for the next 100000 km or so. Those tyres are seriously good value at that price in my opinion.

Hi Gerrit,
I gave them a call (call themselves Max Solutions now) and spoke to Vernon.
Best price he can do for me is R1700 so you scored a really good price.

Dean, that was a little while (and at least one price increase) ago, though
