    If just changed from full muds on my prado to JoshC's recommended tyre.

    It's a quite agreesive AT. Much more open pattern. Hercules Terra Trac deep tread. Heaps better on road and so far nearly as good as muds off road.

    I found these to be an excellent all round tyre. Did high kms on my last set, 60-70k. Bought them thru Steve at tyreshoponline.co.nz

    I'm drawn to the mountains and the bush, it's where life is clear, where the world makes the most sense.

    Good advice thanks. I rang tyreshoponline and they don't do the Hercules any more.

    So I need to tack down a Hercules agent.

    Cheers

    Thar- If you do let me know, I'd like to see if they are suitable for me also.

    I had the Yoko Geoloanders suggested for My Mitsi Outlander by The dealership in town... Around $1100-1200 depending on specials etc for a set.

    Bugger, I may have got the last set. I'm sure they will get gutted as they also reckoned they were a great tyre.

    I've got a query in with these guys - HERCULES Tyres | Brands | Autostance

    I'll let you know if they have access still and what the deal is as I'm in a similar spot...
