    Picked up 4 factory Prado alloys today, with pretty worn 10R15 Bridgestone ATs on them, chucked them on for the drive home and got 11L/100km of diesel, not bad with 150kg of other wheels/tyres in the back. They're a slightly larger tyre than the Kumho muddies, Prado rims are a good fit and should be straightforward to find a 5th for the spare - there are 4 different wrecking Prados listed on trademe right now with these rims.

    Shiny & new & an extremely saggy arse with 150kg of wheels in the back, made for a lot of body roll driving home

    You change much more of that thing and the only original bit will be the shaddow.
    There are only three types of people in this world. Those that can count, and those that can't!

    Shit BC but better mileage than the 2016 Hilux at work, probably cos it's short about 400kg of electronics and plastic crap
