Big tread blocks aren't as important as quality tyres in the best half of their life. If your maxis are worn to more than 60% remaining then leave them at home in my opinion.
The sand does not need a Muddy. Not sure about the flinders though mate??
If your going to buy K m2 anyway then keep the Maxiss for commuting and take the kms to the Simpson.
Its a Nissan! =====> Its a Keeper!! ....... Got a TD42 in it BONUS!!....... I'm a lucky bugger! I've got 2 of em!

The only good thing about an 80 series is..... the front end?? Wrong!!, the Engine?? Wrong!! the Full Time 4WD system?? Wrong!! Its the NissanPatrol.com.au stubby holder fitted over the transfer lever.

What's involved in coming???? Do you just rock up or what's the go???? I don't have Facebook if that's got anything to confirm.! I'm not sure if I can come!!!! But fingers crossed, would be a bloody great time, would be nissinsane
Pretty much mate, when the dates get near just keep your eye on this thread and keep in contact with the forum and the thread if you want to commute with other members from your area.
Where you located to Tonka?

Just don't use old tyres the heat, load and corrugations will make them fail,
If you are buying new tyres anyway get a muddy, some people think that the large tread blocks are better for stones,
I've done cape York , the Kimberly , googs track, the Simpson and never had a puncher in the tread only the sidewall of Bfg muddies though the 2 sidewall punchers I've had we're km2's and 1 had the inside of the tyre delaminates without it showing on the outside, yet to check the other 5 tyers
Winnie, I had an interesting chat with Brett at 4x4 Obsession last week regarding tyres. Up until then I would have said KM's for sure but now......
In a nutshell he was suggesting that he's seen a lot of the current KM2's go out of round because of some crappy manufacturing faults. This is what he suspects is the culprit of my front end shake because everything else is tight-as in the front end. Michelin (who make them) shifted their manufacturing to China a couple of years ago.......
Make of that what you will.
