Sorry about yet another tyre thread.
Anyone able to give feedback on how good these tyres are?
Looking at some 215/75R15 ATs for about $130 each for the Vitara.

I've had a set of them for a few years now and reckon they're awesome
Great in mud and on gravel, dunno about sand I haven't driven a beach in years...
Road noise isn't too bad, I hardly notice any over the noisy soft-top anyway.
They are wearing really well too, they still look new.

I had two fail(get eggs) at about 40,000km , but that was on a patrol a suzuki may be totaly different they did grip quite well.
maxxis bighorns are a MUCH better tyre at a similar price IMO

I have them on my LWB sierra and love them. I paid $170 each for them at the time.
I am that happy with them that when I saw a set in 265/75/16 for sale on prado rims for $800 I jump at them before anyone else could. they look fucking great too, just got to get them put onto my alloys.
wearing them on the prado I do notice some road noise that I didn't on the sierra, but nothing unbearable by any means. and they give suprisingly good road feel too. their only downside i've noticed is wet bitumen.
