Where the hell do you start when looking at tyres?
Looking for a set of 265/75r16's m/t's for the surf but there is that many on the market im confused. Just after something that will be alright on a daily driver for around 12-1300 bucks but dont know where to start. Why can't they just have a couple of types:)
Re: Where the hell do you start when looking at tyres?
the age old question!! depends on what you want out of your tires, but in your budget get something like a maxxis.... 

i used to Cruise, now i PATROL

Malfunction, I almost bought Hankook's what problems did you find with them, I now have a friend who is looking for tyres for a Surf but doesn't want to pay the price for expensive tyres. When I told him what I paid for Bridgestones he almost shat.

They dont seem to bite in the mud like the mudstars, they seem wear out alot faster in general use also. The road grip in the wet is awful. Seem great on sand mind you
