    Thanks for the feed back guys, much appreciated


    I used to run BFG's & Kumhos on road cars in the 90's & 2000's they were great but yes thats a different beast, It's currently running the factory HT Hankooks which are ok, not great in the wet hence why I asked


    I have run Falken's too & do have their SUV HT's as an option, online reviews are a lottery for people that know what they "think & actually" know about, many of these SUV tyres are made for like 45-55 profiles so a 60 is fairly big for a HT, as for AT's it seems to be standard.
    Shoot it, root it & then BBQ it !!!

    You probably know this,but.
    None of the yank stuff I have run ( 6 utes and a couple of Suburbans) would handle ok, untill you had a couple of hundred kg over the rear axel.I probably depends on your spring set up but it's been the case with me anyhow.

    Hard size to find H/T tyres in.
    Michelin do the Primacy SUV that has a decent load rating and being a Michelin product it will do just about everything that you are requiring , I see Falken do the S/Tz05 but I have never sold those so can't give any feedback on them.

    There is a couple of good A/T options in your size though , Cooper , Mickey Thompson etc

    so we got some cooper 80/20's and got an alignment done elsewhere and though slightly noisier they ride well and are good on gravel and grass
    Cracks me up how every stealership try's to say that , every vehicle that has gone on boat rides and loaded onto transporters and then bounced around the country definitely does need a pd wheel alignment.....some aren't out much and then others are out a shitload!
