Depends what you want em for, if you're after m/t s, i started a thread on this the other day. see here http://www.hiluxsurf.co.uk/forums/sh...ad.php?t=24677

These are more than likely going to be a second set of tyres for me with colway or kumho a/ts as my general use tyre.

Hope this helps.

If the tyres that are on there are still in good condition i'd leave em on and see how you get on. Yokohama have a very good reputation for road and trackday tyres, but i couldn't tell you what their 4x4 tyres are like. I'm sure someone will though.

pmsl@ joker yes fella the difference is astounding!!

must say though my trooper( 2.6 petrol) never let me down once..............until that is i p xed it for my surf and after driving only a mile up the road the dealer phones me moby and says" wheres the immobiliser on the trooper?"

to which i replied in astonishment " would you wanna nick a mk1 trooper"

turns out the starter motor packed up on that same day so i was more than lucky
