Believe it or not the Vehicross tyres are way cheaper and easier to find than the GTR's......

Because the John Deere dealers sell them?

Mr G,

Try www.Camskill.co.uk

Can't remember your profile/wheel size (18's?), but -

Falken 452 275/35/18 are, £140
Falken 452 275/40/18 are, £152.40
Toyo T1R's 275/35/18 are, £182

They were the first people i tried Tony......but are not stocking T-1R's any more,plus they didn't have anything in 275 in stock, and i am still waiting for them to get back in touch with me regarding ordering times....

Oh well fair enough dude. have you tried www.blackcircles.com or www.etyres.co.uk ?

Yess mate....they quoted 2-4 weeks...

This is what happens when you buy big wheels!

Any luck yet G?

Yes mate.. ...I got back in touch with Blackcircles,which you and Tony recommended,and decided to go down another route.....I originally only envisaged using A Japanese tyre,but since i am struggling to get hold of Toyo's or Falkens in that width..i am going for Hankooks,which are still Pacific Rim tyres.....i have used Hankook Dyna-Pros on the Vehi-Cross for the last two years,and although a mud terrain tyre they have been awesome.
So the GTR will now be shod in Hankook Ventus V12 EVO k110's.....which get rave reviews and are at least equal to Toyo's.....plus i don't have to wait for 2-4 weeks before i get them.......

I think you should just have the wheels, tyres and suspension from the vehicross fitted to it, make it a monster truck GTR. That would look awesome especially when you go mud plugging.

Hmmm.....Now there's a thought....

so is that option any cheaper?

...Probably

Hoping tyres turn up today........

Tyres on........re-test tommorrow.....

Yay....Legal for another year..........had some gyp fitting the KOOK's instead of Japanese tyre though...

Awesome!

graet stuff, back on the road!
