Not yet Andreas, still deciding but the current tyres have 31000km on them ao they are still good enough until I decide.

Nel, has all the Vaxxing made you retarded?
Look at the Thread title, there's a clue that alludes to what tyres he has on currently...

So I was hoping this thread would die a slow death but no, Mike had to go and shake things up with his legitimate question.

I was too lazy the other day to go check the tyre size on the 200 so I Googled it and google gave me the specs as per the thread title… Google was completely wrong just like an antivaxxer….

The stock tyres on a 200 VX is actually285/60/18, or at least for SA.

With all Manny’s advice on anti-vaccines, I am convinced now that his clinical ambition was to become a proctologist… no wonder his business is called the “house doctor”

Will you be putting a decent roof rack on?

Seems if you're not taking them for a swim - you're turning them over???

More,

Ek het toe gister 285/60/18 bande laat opsit om te hou by dit waarmee die voertuig uitgekom het. Die bande wat ek opgesit het is Michelin LTX Force nadat ek bietjie gaan oplees het en omdat daar net n klein hoeveelheid bande is met die spesifikasies. Ek het voorheen die bande op my eerste FJ gehad en ek was baie gelukkig.

Ek sal meer terugvoer gee soos die tyd aanstap, ek sleep die Bushlapa more Tsendze toe en kan hopelik dan al klaar weet hoe die bande doen.
