I am currently driving through south america, and this morning when we pulled onto pavement, one of my wheels was thumping. Upon inspection I have broken a belt in one of my BFG all terrains. The tire was basically worn out, so its not a big loss, but I now need to find a replacement. Current plan is 2 new tires at this point, rotated onto the back and using up the current BFGs on the front. We are in Trujillo, which is a fairly large city on the coast so there should be options.
Tire size is 265x70 R16 load range D, truck is a tundra with camper that weighs a bit over 6000lbs total.
I am looking for ideas on what to buy that will be availble for reasonably cheap. The current BFGs have been fine until this point, but I don't know about availability. I have read Doug Hackney's threat, but my toyota doesn't need heavy truck tires so I don't think it applies.
I have seen goodyears and bridgestones around, as well as lots of maxxis. Any thoughts on what tires I should look at?
Any suggestions on a tire dealer? We only plan on being in town a few days, as we need to keep moving north so I want to do this soon.
Thanks
