Hi everyone, this is my first post on these forums.

I picked up a new TDV8 about 2 months ago and I'm now looking for some different tyre options that are slightly more suited to off-road driving. It came with Goodyear Wrangler F1, which are pretty useless on-road so I can imagine they are going to be awful if they even smell dirt.

I was planning on getting myself a set of 17" or 18" rims with decent off-raod tyres to so I could change the rims when I wanted to go and play but have since realised that with the Brembo brakes on the TDV8, you can only fit or 19" or 20" rims.

Has anyone gone through the exercise of trying to find an AT or even a slightly more aggressive HT tyre in 19"?

Many thanks,

I just had 4 new Khumos put on mine. They are 285/35/19 and have a nice aggressive tread and look phat!! Tread wear is 420 (this is about a medium wear rating). The good news is they were only $275 each at Tempe Tyryes on the Princes Highway at Tempe in Sydney. My dealer suggests that if I get 30,000km out of any set of tyres I'm doing really well. 2006 Black/Alpaca, Hi Ice, Dynamic Pack, 19" wheels, Clear Pack...

thanks enzo.

I guess the ideal scenrio would be to get a second set of 19" rims and fit them with Goodyear MTR's, that way I could swap them over easily when I want to do proper off-road. I've got BF Goodrich MT's on my Disco 2 and they really give you that extra confidence to tackle serious obtacles.

It seems though (from my basic searching so far) that there is really nothing in between the standard HT and the MTR's, which aren't really suited for everyday driving.

What is the laod/speed rating of your tyres? 2008 TDV8, Stornoway Grey with Alpaca premium leather, Adaptive cruise, Adaptive Bi-xenons, sunroof, Premium Nav, Premium ICE Logic 7, telephone, active locking rear diff, console coolbox, seat memory, powerfold mirrors, tow pack, window tint.

Pirelli make the Scorpion ATR in 19" (255/55/19). These are better than road tyres but not as aggressive as e.g. a BFG A/T or General Grabber AT2.

They get good reviews here: http://www.tirerack.com/tires/tires.jsp?ti...orpion+ATR

I've heard that General might release a 19" version of the AT2, but don't know when.
