Could you get a tape measure out and measure the total tread width and the total height of these tyres?
The old Kumho M/T's were only 26.3x7.75R14's. Just wondering what these ones are.

i rang around for these tyres and i can get them for $176ea.. look mad chunky, lot more aggresive than i thought... like everyone else like to know how much road noise they produce at 100kays cause most of my commute to work is 90/100kay zones, not a lot of slow intersection corners so i dont think i'll wear them out too quick, but im sure the "hummmm" at crusing speeds would get a bit annoying... like sitting in a commonwhore v6 with shitty exhaust that reverbs at highway speeds... microsleep can kill in seconds....... zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

actually I am really happy with them on the road. Not sure how fast they will wear but they are really quiet. Only marginally louder than my normal road tyres. I was supprised, thought they would be louder than they are.

Depends how quiet your car is to start with, there a few noises in my L series already so it sort of just blends in with the rest

I've just ordered 5 of these. I'm paying $200 each which is the cheapest i could find in Ballarat. Buearepaires tried to charge me $240.
