Anyone running 31/10.50/15 Toyo Transpath MT`s?
I can get these delivered for £67.00 ea. incl. so am tossing up between Colway`s £48.00 (ea. fitted) and these.

Oooh, they look good.

Don't forget to factor in fitting (roughly £20 a tyre from the big tyre shops) or rims if you're going for an 'off-road' set.

Hi Paul,
I dont plan on running 2 sets of tyres- I know it affects fuel and economy running MT`s on the road but maybe that`s all the more reason to go for a new tyre like Toyo. I have found Colway`s to be heavy and soft rubber but at £48.00 ea fitted tis` a bargain. Have been quoted £10 ea. for fitting the Toyo at ATS down the road.

I went for the Colway AT`s in 31/10.50/15 at a TOTAL cost of £192.00 for 4.
The tyre shop was trying to tell me the 31"s are the same as the 265/70`s!
Well, I argued back as I did research the size difference and came up with the following:
265/70/15: diam. 752mm
31/10.50.15: diam. 787mm with the speedo reading 4.63% slower. The tyres looked the same diam. while stood next to each other off the rim though.
Can someone please confirm I am right and the 31"s are slightly bigger than the 275/70. Also, I thought the metric equiv. for 31"s is 255/75/.
