Below is a link from 4wd monthly Mag on a survey on 10 off road tyres

Any suggestion with brands and prices?

Well you dont want to do much mud type offroading (or you wouldnt get an HT) so you can choose from virtually any brand, they all have a 4x4 HT. I currently run michelin HT's and I find they are quiet and good at speed, obviously they are rubbish off road so if I want to do anything fun I will be getting a second set of rims and some jungle trekkers or something at the other end of the scale. If you want to buy on price then a good value tyre which still is well made is hankook. The pirelli scorpion has a HT based AT which is a very good all rounder but perhaps a little punchure prone (i have heard) but in the flesh I have seen them perform very well off road on a prado. All of these tyres will easily outperform the cooper on the road and cost less. I know many cooper fenatics which will never switch brand but I personally would never own them, I think they are overpriced and low quality. I would choose BF. BF make a good AT which virtually every conservative 4x4 owner owns who cant bring themselves to go 'all out' and get the MT - which is also very good. In the end tho you not going to be able to test them all out, so my short list would include all the brands I have mentioned other than BF and cooper.

I use the BFG AT on my Triton 31 x 10.5 R15's

They cost around the $220 mark.
They have done over 30 000km's and still have a lot of life left.
Have used them about 80% on road.

Are they good for my Chally's size
265x70 R15. Where do I found them on the GC (Southport)

Cheers

That size is the standard size for the Triton as well.
I found that the 31's changed the speedo reading by about 4-6km/h.

Shop around for local purchasing as I'm in Sydney.
