    If they are available locally I notice that Maxxis do an extreme offroad tyre that will fit the T4 and maintain its load rating - the M8060 Trepador



    As for the MA-579.....it's obviously an Asian market only tyre....like the GT Radial brand. Finally we are able to get hold of decent and cheap tyres for our little prides & joy....

    After 88,256 km on my original Michelin Agilis 51 215/65/16 and they had a bit more however I started to get more wheel spin on greasy roads and i think we'll have a wet winter in Vic (finally) I bought Pirelli Chrono which have a higher load rating. Tyres seem a bit more firm and maybe slightly quieter but not hugely different. Tyre centre filled them with Nitrogen, which I hadn't asked for as they mixed the job cards up so now I have bright red valve covers, lol.

    When I first enquired about the Hankook Dynapro's they told me they didn't come in the same load rating for 215/65/16's to which I then called Hankook in Sydney and was told the same , so chose the Pirelli's at $260 each fitted.

    Thanks for the pic on the Maxxis, Seano. I couldn't find anything on them.
    That's the size I've got, just in a 65.
    And at $180 a corner, I couldn't say no
