Hi, time to buy new tyres for my Kluger (2008) KX-S. What brand and type of tyres do you recommend? Also, what price can I expect to pay? Would like to get the tyres before the end of the fin year (4 tyres). Thanks

I recently replaced mine with the OEM Bridgestone D400's. Best price I got was $365 per tyre.

There are few other options and they were all more expensive. I have been quite happy with the D400's but I know a lot of other people are not.

If you are happy with the standard tyres, I would suggest going with them. Because Bridgestone are the main player in that size (245/55/19) they do a lot of volume and prices are quite competitive.

I have been looking at http://www.falken.com.au/tyres/4wd-suv-ZE912.html does anyone have any points of view on this one?

I am one of those who was not happy with OEM D400's - only managed 38,000 km out of them. Replaced with Toyo Open Country H/T which have now done 38,000km with at least 50% life remaining.

if you werent happy with 38k, how many would make you happy? i was only getting 10k out of mine! thats why i ended up doing a strip and fit to get another 10k out of the other side of the tyre. If i got 38k i would be over the mooon.

thats why i sold my car, have 2x bridgestone for sale, listed in other forum.

Selling a car due to unsatisfactory tyre life?!?!? That is certainly a new one for me :huh:

I got 45,000km out of my original Bridgestones and probably could have got 5-10k more. I am more than happy with that.

Coopers may last longer, but in my books that certainly doesn't make it a better tyre. When I was getting prices, they were more expensive than the Bridgestones, and hardly anyone had them. In my case the Bridgestones have been pretty good all round (noise, ride, handling, grip, life) so I saw no point in paying more for a "cheaper" tyre...

My opinion - unless you hate the Bridgestones (and some do) - stick with them.

What size are you after?

Do you want confort or performance?

I am after the original size that the car came with. Comfort is the best option for our needs.

Try not to take this as an offense but do you expect me to know what the original size is? If it wasn't for Matty P who mentioned the size i wouldn't bother search the internet the size for you.

Go with Toyo Open Country H/T. Tyrepower stocks Toyo so give them an email or call.

My apologies mate, it was pooring down with rain last night in Perth when I wrote this. We had 54mm of rain between 6pm and 10 pm. I did not want to go out and get drenched (to check my tyres). Was going to check my tyres today. Thanks for your understanding. I did not think for a minute that you were a psychic;--)

      Turboed Corolla Overbuilt?

      that engine will be fine, the rods are the main thing to be concerned about. The 2860 is a decent turbo for the 1zz but in this day and age I'd go for a G25-550. The injectors might be on the small side, we run DW1000's. You need a full length injector, the shorter injectors with adaptors like ID1050x dont fit the 1zz head. You don't need an aftermarket intake manifold, if you do go down that path, avoid the CNC innovations unit, it's garbage. Do the boost control with a MAC valve and control it with the aftermarket ECU of your choice, I use Link stuff on most of my builds with the G4x Storm as the minimum. I also wire a fuel pressure sensor and oil pressure sensor to the ECU in my installs. Use a decent intercooler, the better cores (ARE, PWR, Garrett, Vibrant, Plazmaman, Hypertune) work a lot better than the chinese stuff like Aeroflow. a 450x250-300 fits fairly well with custom end tanks to route the cooler pipes through next to the radiator Don't forget about the clutch and gearbox. These days I like the Uniclutch twinplate, Above 300whp you'll want to think about upgrading the 3rd and 4th gears in the box also with the SSC (Hollinger) gear set and install an LSD of your choice. If you're going to give it a hard time, you'll also want an oil cooler. I like the HKS thermostat type sandwich plates and setrab or mocal oil coolers with -10 speedflow fittings/lines (Chinese AN fittings neck down to a lot smaller internal diameter in their bends, not great for flow) You'll also want to think about brakes, Celica or Sportivo front calipers will bolt on with sportivo discs as a starting point. To have somewhere like Tunehouse do the work you'll want to budget somewhere between 20-40K

      Camry Touring 2010 Fuel consumption 15.2L/100km. Normal?

      I did the mathematics myself regarding costs vs benefits for fuel injector cleaner. I have changed from 91ULP to 95PULP and 98PULP. Price difference can be about 13 -20 cents. Compared to 91ULP, Premium quality fuel should have a better quality additive package designed to have superior engine cleaning capabilities so the engine can perform at their best.

      "Fuel injector cleaner is a waste of money" Only if you by the cheap crap if you use LiquMolly a German Product it does work and you won't waste your Money.

      Disconnecting winch, lightbar and UHF

      Generally, yes. In the 60s, and earlier, there were cars with positive grounds, so I'm always a bit hesitant to say the negative wire. It is always the one that bolts to the body. Herb

      2011 Land Cruiser 1VD-FTV Engine Won't Start After Overhaul

      Hi everyone, I have a 2011 Land Cruiser VDJ200 with a 1VD-FTV engine. I recently had the engine fully overhauled due to a blown head gasket. However, after the overhaul, the engine is not starting. It only cranks but doesn't fire. I've checked the following DTC codes: Internal memory EEPROM error Low rail pressure The actual rail pressure data shows: 240 bar during cranking 61 bar when ignition is off Based on these findings, I suspect the following potential causes: =Defective Diesel High-Pressure Pump =Leaking Piezoelectric Injectors =Diesel Fuel Bypassing to the DPF Circuit =Faulty Injector Drivers I'm hoping for some expert advice to help diagnose and resolve this problem I'm seeking expert advice on how to troubleshoot and resolve this issue. Any suggestions or guidance would be greatly appreciated.
