I paid $256 each for my Yokohama Geolanders AT-S in a LT245/70/17. Absolutely love them. They have been excellent in all forms of terrain that I have driven on so far, rock, gravel, snow, clay and even deep meud when you learn how to "clean" out the tread blocks whilst trying to get through it.

Was out wheeling last weekend with a 2 JKU's with muddies, one with Pro Comp and the other with Federal. Both guys commented on how good the Yoko's where.

CRDV6, the HT is the Highway Tyre, where as the AT-S is the All terrain Series, they are also M+S rated, (mud and snow). Very quiet on road, great grip and traction power and long life.
The AT-S in the size I bought are an LT construcion as well.

I have a 2012 WK11 CRD Laredo (so 265/60/1 and have done 42,000klms on the Kumho KL21 OEM tyres the rear are shagged would say 36 psi as the placard would be about right for them quiet tyre due to road based tread blocks but not a tyre i would say does anything very well but still not as scary as the Cooper ATR thres i bad on my previous Prado! they were fown right dangerous in the wet with 1/3 rd tread left i threw them away due to wet weather grip)or rather lack of it!) looking at tyre options now just hate how we get ripped here for Michelin tyres $445 here well under $200 from tire rack.

Just picked up our new Laredo MY2013 model on Thursday and noticed they now have Michelin tyres on the 18in rims. Too late to look outside at what type but the dealer said there were too many problems with the Kuhmos. I can give more details tomorrow if interested. The steel rim spare however has a Kuhmo.

lucky you JOLO, I would love the Michelin's(they are the standard fitment in USA) coudn't understand the tight arse minds at CJD Australia) when you look at tire rack retail pricing) they saved bugger all per vehicle to fit a crap tyre!instead of staying with Michelin
has anyone tried to see if the standard tyre fits in the spare wheel well when its fully inflated wondering on the small steel spare and why its not full size match to the road wheels?

Finally getting replacement tyres tomorrow. Dealer and Chrysler have come to the party after I threatened to take my complaint to consumer affairs.

They are replacing them with Hercules Terra Trac At's.

Are these any good or should I take it straight to the tyre place and trade them?

Sorry to say this, but good ole' Ozzytyres and their rip off pricing. maybe they should learn to count. $603 original price, now $301 over 50% reduction, not up to 50%. Splittiing hairs I know, but anyone silly enough to pay $603 for a $200 tyre deserves it.

End of rant ;P
