Prices vary quite dramatically up to $550 a Tyre but you cane get them for $305 on eBay from Cornell tyres.

Some people rave about BFG's, yet they are the only tyre that have let me down on wet roads in the 30 years that I owned 4WD's.
They clog with mud very quickly as well and hold it in the tread.
My 2c worth........

Thnx Bomber, I wondered about this. Is your info with or without suspension lift?

Hey mate, With a lift these will still not fit. You will need a grinder and a welder and a big hammer to modify the pinch weld in the wheel arch as well as wheel spacers about 25mm to stop them rubbing on the sway bar at full lock. 275/65r18 is the biggest u can go with the lift. Hope this clarifies.

Thnx Nicholas, exactly what I wanted to know. This also reduces tyre choice down. Appreciated.
