BFG all terain or MTR's both are top tyres depends what you are doing with them Tim I have the MTR's on the wagon and they are great in Glasshouse. For the 100 series I will be going the BFG's as it only goes off very little.

Back in the day when I sold tyres, Dunlops and goodyear wranglers would always come back with problems of bad road noise and being out of round. Dunlops have extreemly thin sidewalls thats why they are cheaper. I personaly would never put a dunlop on any car I have. But each to there own.

so i have been making a few calls and the dunlops are still a front runner at $195 fitted each, cheapest by $40 to $110 than others.

My parents have run a few sets of these Firestone Desitnation on their Jeep Cherokee:
http://www.bridgestone.com.au/tyres/tre ... ation.aspx
a bit too road oriented I think, but a nice soft rubber compound which grips well in all weather, just not so great in the bush because of the tread pattern. they get about 60-70k safely out of a set on an XJ Cherokee.

the same tyre can be had in an A/T:
http://www.bridgestone.com.au/tyres/tre ... on_at.aspx
This might suit your needs in the 215/70, still rather mild.

I personally am getting the M/T option for my next road tyres:
http://www.bridgestone.com.au/tyres/tre ... on_mt.aspx
not available in any of the sizes that suit you however. They are a mild M/T and to my mind are what an A/T should be. was wondering if you could use the 225/75R16 thats all :)

They do look good, should be able to say in a few weeks just how noisy they are :D
If you are keen, email bridgstone Australia (contact details on their website). they would verify that for sure. sometimes the tyre dealers don't get the full info.

i had firestone mts on my old vit softtop and i liked em but it seems they have done a new design since then. yeah i emailed them for info.

the reason im chasing tyes is that i and the missus have taken a shining to the vit, so we plan to keep it longer than first thought and the tyres i have now are ok for another month or 2.
