just for info when replacing the tyres on a rodeo / dmax the load rating MUST be 111 or above and not lower as it is dangerus to do so

although I shouldn't need to replace my tyres anytime soon, I used to use camskill & wondered if anyone else would recommend anywhere else?

I've currently got Kuhmo's.

Hi guys
I'm about to change four of mines but they are 255 60 18 on the motor.
I wanted BFG but they dont make them that size so my next best option is general grabber at2 .
BFG does come in a 265 65 18.
Would these fit or should I stay with the grabbers?

Could someone suggest a good pricing center too?

Thanks
Adam

I have a set of BFG AT 265/65R18's going on mine this weekend - they are only 2" larger in diameter so should fit fine (bloomin hope they do now I bought them!). Oh - just to add, I paid £300 for the tyres (brand new) from a well known auction site, local tyre shop is £7.50 per wheel fitting & balancing.

Quick update... the tyres are on and have made a massive difference to the way it handles - give me BF Goodrich over Yokohama anyday! The steering is lighter, it holds the corners better and hopefully offroad it will be miles better.

265/65R18 ... they do fit and I cant see any catching on articulation etc. however on the nearside of the front arches the little plastic trim that bulges out on the inside of the arch (where the sill meets the arch) catches a tiny bit halfway thru its left turn - quick touch with a stanley knife and thats cured Laughing

I suppose the standard models (ie not the MAX LE with all its extra plastic) wouldnt have this problem. It does look like this is the largest tyre that can be fitted without modification.

I have got 265/75 16 on mine,

Just had to remove the little bit of plastic from under the front bumper that reduces spray (i thinks thats what its pirpose is),

It is a Squeeze though.
