Hi All,
I'm in the market for four new tyres. Currently running BFG A/T and done 90 000. Would do more if i didn't allow them to wear of uneven. Thus I'm a BFG man, but they are expensive.
Below a table of the best prices I could source so far.(sorry, I cant get my table to format properly)
Tyre Size Best Price
Pirelli 265/70R16 R 8,472
BF Goodrich 265/75R16 R 10,400
Michillin LTX AT2 265/75R16 R 9,960
Michillin LTX AT2 265/70R16 R 8,760
Bridgestone D694 Dueller 265/75R16 R 7,200
Bridgestone D697 Dueller 265/70R16 R 11,800
Hankook Dynapro ATM 265/75R16 R 11,011
Goodyear Wrangler 265/75R16 R 6,284
This is for 4 tyres including fitment balancing and allignment.
Even though I prefer BFG, the price I can get on the Bridgestones are R3000 cheaper????
Please help...has anybody had experience on both Bridgestones and BFG?
Regards,

Contact Renata Tyres in Rustenburg. Their prices are much much lower than anywhere else.
I bought 6 X 265/70/16 Hankook MT for R10600.

fill the form and the send quotes.

Also check out the tyres available on the tyretraders website:
TyreTraders
They have quite a wide variety of tyres.
Maxxis is also a very good value for money option.
I am running BF Goodrich Rugged Trail T/A, which is quite a bit cheaper than the AT and I got very good mileage on them so far, and they have performed flawlessly on a few rocky trails as well as Brakkeduine over the weekend.

Any Gen4 drivers tried out 265/70 R17?
I see they are quite a bit mroe expensive than the 265/65s...

I had two sets of Duelers which both barely made 30K km's. Rather stay clear of them.
Very happy with the BF's I'm running at the moment.

BFG last a lot longer than Bridgestone D694.
For those options I would say BFG all the way.

provided you don't get the production line of BFG's that chip the BFG's are great tyres.
