PC XT

Its the dam roundabouts! its the out side edges off the fronts that are gone, the reast of the tyre could do another +5000Kms I got a new price on the Yokies they have gone to $450ea, unfortunately Im most probably going back to the stock tyres and getting a really good alignment from DAY 1

New Tire replacements are approaching faster than Xmas at 35000Kms.... I'm still very undecided would love to go the 255x55x19" Route with the Yokies but it looks like they will be over the $430ea the OEMs D400's are $375ea Then I look at cheaper tyres like Kumho's $300ea, Toyo's $325ea and Hankook RH06 @ $275.00ea and Desert Hawks "What the Hell are THEY?" at $225ea All I can say is the D400 Have dropped in price since there are more options available to us all, still not keen on the D400's as I feel they wear out far to quickly in the city on the side edges :( Any advice would be nice :D

That was one of my wife's first removal mods so she could fill it with stuff and I can mount the radio in it when need be

We had our windscreen (due to rock hit) and dash clips replaced this week, mad a world of difference :D They replaced 6 to 8 clips located in the front of the dash takes about half a day to do, the felt/cloth that is around the clips wears until it hits the plastic clip... then welcome to mr dash rattle. A Known fault for Klugers by Toyota. :o See picture of what they have to do to get to the clips

What aren't you happy with in your new Kluger? The big crack down the windscreen.

Scary!

Ill bring a Bus

On the rear, there's only about one finger width between strut and inside of tyre ... so that's about 20mm at best. I am guessing that putting on a 255/55 would use up 5mm of that 20mm?? Is that likely to be a problem? Also on the rear, there is about 3cm (not 3mm) laterally from inside of tyre to the wheel arch trim. Not sure what might happen if this is reduced to, say 25mm by fitting 255/55's, and then bouncing around on rough ground. Or am I imagining a non-issue? Yeah, but were you not one of the first Gen 2 owners? I'm just a 'Johnny come lately' with just over 20,000km on these tyres (but wearing far too quickly IMO) ... so I am looking to the likes of you to lead the way. My wife drives ours most locally its just craked 30k after 2 years, the Tyres should be fine, just find a dealer willing to do a test fit and you should be fine, sounds like theirs enough room from your measurements

Have you gone ahead with the Advan ST 255/55R19's? My local Bob Jane T Mart salesman suggested they would not be suitable. Although I a no expert on tyres, I can't see what the problem is given the OD is only 1% larger (763mm vs 756mm). Putting steering at hard lock with Bridgestone D400's leaves at least 3cm side clearance front/rear ... which suggests there is enough there to accommodate the extra width and OD of the 255/55's. However, it looks a bit tighter at the rear wheels where the inside clearance with D400's is less than 3cm ...hmmm. Grateful for any advice. Just window shopping for the inevitable! I'm going to make those bridgestone's work a bit harder yet for there money! Hopefully some one will make the move before me as we don't rack up a lot of Kms on the car The OD wont be a problem if there is it will be in the width, is the rear 3mm to the guard or the strut?

Yep Got the quote while waiting for the new Japan only Sti wheels and Tyres to be fitted balanced and aligned :D

I got a Price for the Yokohama advan st yesterday at $430 a corner....this could come down more

Watch Top Gear UK.....Prius vers BMW M3, who get best fuel consumption figure when driven flat out in the PRIUS wjth the M3 TRAILING ALL THE WAY behind not even raising a sweet Maybe the Kluger is the Prius in this case against the V8 Cruiser

The Drop and Go are the real killers because the car goes nowhere for over an hour a week with the engine going

Not the Turbo one I saw! They don't make a 6 any more either

AWD Blue is quicker in the Subaru camps I hear

One of the best looking ones too

Nice solution any more?

A TRD supercharged Kluger and Turbo-diesel version would round out the range nicely B) I agree ;) the oiler I can do with out though!

Tried and tested them all V-POWER works for me and produced the best output power seen on the Dyno from a Stock Forester XT. 133KW@THE WHEELS The Kluger is what ever they wife puts in...its funny e10 even seems ok in it even though I would not recommend it long term

Now where have I heard this before? Just spoke to a customer who had his pride and joy territory in our work shop over 2 years ago, I asked him how his Territory was going...His words were its the BIGGEST $HIP BOX I have ever had you will see it on the news soon! Then he went on about the the crap dangerous brakes, poor finish and something about having to remove the engine to remove Rust! I should not have asked :( SAME NO regrets whats so ever...We do need a new windscreen.....darn country foke! :) I still like the TTG though B)

Got a Thule hitch bike rack of e-bay can put 5 bikes on in 5 mins including fitting the Hitch no mess no fuss... used it on the weekend its a ripper :)

The Mother in law love's her Avensis :) small bus

Yep Sti Foz Rims :D In Brisbane at Present would like them on my Car like Now :( I want tyres that can handle round abouts! You dont have many of those out your way do you? Those Wranglers remind me of some Maxxis I looked at....you've just got to wonder...you have to live with the Tyres for over a year and if you don't like them...you just have to smile... :D You be the Leader mate, I tell the misses to take it easy for the next 6k :D

There always has to be a leader.....with anything like that you are playing Russian roulette if you like to gamble go for it I got the Grande because I know it was all meant to be and work together for a long time (I hope) You never know you could be on a little winner as it looks the part but its whats on the inside that really counts Good luck with it :)

Taka I couldnt see a huge differance in Ver 15 when compared to Ver 14
