Baz, I was just thanking those that gave opinions or help when I asked for it a while back. Thanks is something that lacks at times on the forum and life in general.

Good on you Doug,
On my two past Patrols, I only used the same brand/series twice (on my GQ) - that's not saying the other tyres weren't any good as they all gave similar life.
However since buying the GU (& I was the 4th owner in 8 years), I've only used the 697 Bridgestones.
I get them from Bob Jayne for similar prices to shown above. Initially they were $225 but now are $235 inc wheel alignment.
Pressures - around town & my bus weighs nearly 3T, I put 41 (rear) & 40psi in them; on the highway - 43 & 41 (F), towing 44 & 42. Up the Birdsville Track - 38 & 36 (or slightly less) - I have never had any trouble with these tyres - except to raise the eyebrows of the salesman once when I replaced the set (4) in less than two years. But I did over 50,000Kms in that time!

Hi Doug. The Isuzu had these fitted when I bought it new and I replaced them with another set at about 66,000. The tyre bloke told me to run them on 40 all round when not towing and 45 in the rear when towing. That works well for me but my van is lighter than yours.
Funnily enough, I bought the tyres from a Kmart Service Centre as they were much cheaper than from the Bridgestone dealer. Go figure!
