Thanks guys, those centre caps look great but shipping to Ireland is too much. Gonna have to hunt some down in Europe.

Thread revival.

I had these wheels refurbished and am now looking to put some tires on them.

Any recommendations for van tires for R16 x 6.5J rims on a G30 camper?

Big name brands are best as I will be more likely to be able to get them here in Ireland.
Cheers guys.

Hey Shaggy, Good to hear from you! The 16 x 6.5 alloys wrapped with those BFG's on Scotty's white G30 look aggressive but are pretty quiet. Pretty impressive ride for an off road LT street tire that would be a good choice around here all year. I think they wear well too.

I run the same tire size in a General Grabber 10 ply rated very truck like ribbed commercial street type tyre, very stiff, good in rain, snow. (On both 1 tons)

Good Hunting!

Cheers guys.
What is the tire size on them ?

I can get 235/85 R16 size here but they are €237 per tire so quite expensive.

I'd like to run the widest I can go on 6.5 rims

Anyone have any experience with HANKOOK DYNAPRO AT2 tires?

Other contenders are General Grabbers and Toyo Open Country U/T's.
