Which tyre to buy

[trekster]

Hi, at the moment I have MICKY THOMPSON 305/70/16 MTZ on my Nissan Patrol GU (1998) which look awesome but use too much fuel.

I am doing only 20% off road and 80% road and looking for new tyres (and try selling my micky thompsons).

I have 2' suspension and I am a bit lost in which tyres I should take (and which size). Which brand would you recommend and should I switch to 285?

An a/t would definitely suffice for the amount of offroad you are doing, If you go down to a 285 it will be a little easier to push them on the truck, I guess it really comes down to what type of tread you want? Aggressive or a more conservative pattern? Price might play a part too?

I like my Kumho a/ts fairly aggressive but got a good price at around $240 a tyre, and that's for a 285/75/16 too! If you want a pic of the tread let me know.


Cheers,
Eric.
