Hey,

They must have dropped in price a bit, or have you got some connections re price?

I was quoted $340 for the Dunlops, ended up with Pirelli scorpion str's for $320 and very happy with them. Much better then the Dunlops in my experience with them.

As is the norm these days with car companies and their Tyre brand deals, Toyota have opted for a difficult size 245/65/17, and not much around as yet hence the higher prices. (i.e Territory uses a 235/60/17.)

Goodluck

I could not get Dunlop ST's, be it ST 20 or 30 to replace the originals due to no stock.

Three weeks back I got Dunlop AT3 being 60% road and 40% dirt mix, Thats my own % mixes at my best guess.

$330 per tyre.

Real happy I got them now for boat ramp use that I do and launching my boat of the sides of the Hume Weir.

There got heaps more tread depth than the road tyres and yes theres a slight increase in road noise. But it's only slight and at 100ks to 110ks I don't think there any noiser than the OEM. But noiser at 70 ks or 80ks I believe.

Also they felt different behind the wheel being a flatter tyre at the road contact point. But 20 ks later and one gets used to it.

They also pick up and hold small 3mm road grit and whilst you don't here it in the cabin. Bestanders may here the click click rotation noise, but thats not my problem as its not heard inside.

Check the speed of the vehicle and the error margin is roughly the same as to when I had the road tyres on.
