Ditch your HT tyres they will not cut it out bush
HT or LT should be written on the side wall somewhere.
Lower your pressures when you hit the dirt 30psi is a good starting point
Yes going with 5 brand new tyres + one older spare just in case even though it takes up valuable space in tray.
Existing 694's have 80,000k on them with at least 30,000k to go so will put them back on when I get back and save the new tyres for next big trip.
At the end of the day, all you have is yourself and all you need is your friends (and in our case our Patrol)
