I've got 31/10.5/15 mud terrains fitted, no probs, no body or suspension lift.

They will go straight on with no ill effects.

Seriously? Excellent, just been looking at white lettered tyres - for that 'kool' look as well as being hefty for off road when i start - and there seems to be a shortage of 265/70R15s especially Goodrichs. Just such a shame that the Bridgestone Dueler 693 31/10.5R15 look a million times better and (sure cost more fit!!!

Any comments on this tyre?

31x10.5x15 is the alternative size to 265/70/15
I run on BRONCO'S myself.

Vehicle is used for show as well as upcoming offroad learning experiences so it has to have OWL or RWL. Not many about at the mo it would seem - might be wrong tho. Got a price 0f 91.50ish each for the MT Duelers anyone know anything better?

Bronco also have a range of wheels available - which ones would be suitable for use on the Hilux Surf with the 31/10.5R15 tyres? I'm a little confused.

You need to get the right backspacing for a Surf, its not the same as solid axle Hilux pickup, only the newer (98' on I think) IFS pickups. Otherwise 31's sometimes rub, but looks cool cos the tyres stick out the side about 2"

Marshall AT's

As far as I know my suspension and body fit is standard and I have Marshall All Terrain 31x10.5's fitted with no rubbing and no problems. Add to that I thinks it's got a bit of a saggy back end - I plan to address that soon.

The Marshall's cost about £65 each fitted and balanced. Pretty reasonable I thought.

By the way, depending on where you live you might not want the lettering showing, especially with the higher priced tyres. It can make them very attractive to the odd light fingered and quick spannered individual!
