Tyrepower in Geelong have 31*10.5.R15 tyres on special at $129 F&B, normally $189. Apparently made in Korea. Does anyone have experience with this brand of tyre? I have a Mitsui Challenger, and the OE Bridgestone 265s cost more than twice the Nexens, and gave up at about 45k.

I finished up getting Cooper 265/70/R15 ATRs for $225 each. One problem I noted with the Nexen 31*10.5.R15 tyres was that they are load and speed rated 109Q, whereas the OE Bridgestones are 110S. There is a warning plaque on the Challenger stating that the L/S rating must not be less than 110S. The new ATR Coopers (112S) are very quiet compared to the Bridgestone A/Ts they replaced.

No complaints so far, but then again, I have never had any problems with GT Radials in the past on other cars. $250 each seemed a bit expensive, but was on par with the Dunlop's etc. To replace the Michelins was going to cost $320 each. I could not find any Coopers, but then again I really didn't search hard either. |
