baz, thats not a bad price. I think the BFG AT's are around the same price these days.

I've spoken to a few places and the best price I was given was about $340 but I'm sure, when I'm ready for them, I can get them cheaper.

The Minister of Finance wants to know, in comparison to Gradcraps, how much more highway noise there is from these?

the atz's are a little noisier (not much) than the 694 bridgestones i used to run but not enough to worry me. my roof rack makes more noise

Quicky and others,

There's another post on here somewhere by Pat, detailing a failure of ATZ's after 700km - blocks were tearing out and separating and the tyres were replaced for coopers at the dealer. Bit hard to tell if it is the same tyre as the photos have been removed.

Yours have had a good workout. any problems with tear-out?

Can you and others comment on the wet road grip compared to whatever you had before?

These ATZ 4-rib are at the top of my shortlist. I have a couple of weeks to decide. Our Prado will be used only as a trip car, so it will do a bit of highway work on the way to the flinders and parts beyond. Outback is the destination. It will also get used for a yearly snowtrip, which is about 2500km on bitumen.

Other tyres on the list are the BFG AT, the Pirelli Scorpion, and the 694's. I'm leaning toward LT carcasses though. It looks like I will be just a little early for the BFG 265/65 release (if it were available, it might swing me that way), so most likely I will land up with 265/70. Most places seem to quote about $100 trade-in on the GrandTreks. I have been quoted $332 for ATZ's in Adelaide.

I recall reading that post from Pat (um Post Man Pat) but I think, based on the date it was posted they where the old 5 rib ATZ's not 4.

You should be able to get cheaper in Adelaide. I had about $328 without trying and think I could get better. Prolly about $320ish

Hi photoprado
We have done a bit over 12k now and the ATZ,s are still going great. The one thing I have noticed now that the trip is over and it is getting pedaled around the burbs again they are showing a little bit of a rough edge on every second block (every second one is recessed) on the shoulder. I put this down to the way the wife drives it around all the round abouts .She still thinks she is driving an SS. Wet driving hasn't been a problem still got good grip . As good as the old 694's we had. Hope to try them in the rough again nthis weekend. I must have got a good buy, only paid 310 each f & b

Thanks, I'll see if I can get the prices sharpened up

Quicky, have you been rotating them?

If the BFG doesn't come out in time, this will be the tyre I think.

Run out of time for the BFG's

Have locked down a deal on the ATZ's. 5 tyres changeover for the Grandtreks @ $950 fitted.

Where abouts and how old/kms are the Grandcraps? I would be real happy with that price :shock:

[photoprado Avid PP Poster! Find all posts View Profile Close photoprado]

Nick, sent you a PM

The tyres are/will be brand new. The tryes will be swapped immediately after delivery.

Re: mickey thompson atz

I reckon it was probably City Discount Tyres at that price..... I know Torque Tyres, do Cooper tyres cheaper than City Discount, if trading brand new tyres.....

Re: mickey thompson atz

Going to get some of these in November, can't wait any longer for the BFG's, my Question is can any dealer beat the $345.00 that I was quoted in Melbourne?
cheers Stevo

Re: mickey thompson atz

I was offered $328 back about two months ago but I didn't go ahead as i wanted to rub out the Grandcraps BUT with the aussie dollar going to hell the price of these imported US tyres will probably go up. Nice. Real Nice. Do the usual thing and shop around as much as you can. You might be lucky and get a better deal.
