I believe there is Goodyear. When I wanted to go for 285's, was advised not to for the Prado because there is very little room in the front suspension area [at the top, not sure what you call the round thingy
]

I have done afew prado's with 285's, and they are a tight fit, they will go, on standard offset, with some selective trimming etc.
I have seen one on 35's, and am just waiting for someone to wan tto go that way, so we can get a lifted 120 on 35's :lol:Comment

Thanks for reply. I have 285 cooper stts on already and there sweet. Almost ready for new set of tyres though. Just wandering if there are any other brands out there.
PS I am also toying with the idea of getting 2" body lift from a company in perth and then try and fit 35s on with larger offset wheels.05 TD Prado.

hi Ando
I believe ProComp do a tyre in that size. From what I've read on the forum though, they are pretty pricey.

Does any one have any experience with the BFG KM2's I have heard they are pretty quite for a muddy, curious how the noise is to say Coopers ST or BFG A/T.Originally posted by KZJ90New BFG Mud-Terrain™ T/A® KM2:

Spacers, 2" lift, and cutting away some of the mud flaps at the front was all that was needed. Not sure about insurance in QLD. I have a feeling that WA are the most relaxed with rules05 TD Prado.
