u shouldnt wory about tyres to much unless u begin to loose traction avoid retreads there mant tyres for many applications tyre compound if u are gettin excessive body role look at ur syspension and rim diametre

make sure u put brake lockers on or front flow controlls to avoid shagging crackibg bending ur rotors while creating SMOKE works out cheaper than a re machine or replacement

the vy had bridgestone potenza 235/45/17's on it when i bought it, they were crap they only lasted about 22000ks! not really happy with that so we smoked them to death!!! great photos will post asap! then we put Goodyear F1's on it.... they were better, not really the custard when ur on the dirt a lot but really good on the road, too soft though they lasted 30000k's or so, and now i have dunlop sp3000A's on it and they seem to be going well....

I'd go for a light truck tyre, depending on what you want you can get BF Goodrich all terrains in sizes for commodores and falcons. Personally I run Firestone Steel ASR in 205/75R15LT which are combination of on and off road and are an 8 ply steel belt light truck tyre they give good traction and good lifetime too.

Kiwiutecowboy:
Hey. Ive been using GT Radial Light truck tyres on my ute for years, but mine is a AU2 Ford Falcon, 2000 Mdl. I have just been told that it is not necessary to run on Light Trucks, so have recently converted to Bob Jane All Rounders, they are cost effective at $95 a tyre and last ages. My sisters fiance has had them on his ute for over a year and a half, and he drives on road and off road everyday on dirt tracks and swears by them. I am very pleased with mine too. Cheers
