(quote) Also just for anyone else making this trip make sure you check the way your GPS route is setup as our garmin unit took us off the nice highways and onto some dodgey roads near tweed heads a few times which is where i ran into the pot holes.

Your Garmin was set to navigate by "use Hippie back roads to avoid cops" turn that off and you'll be set....

Welcome back! Been an interesting read for me as i am about to embark on a trip up to Cairns for 3 months with work! Might just stop off and get some goo and a 12v pump just in case!

Thanks!!

Haven't had to look into this previously, but about to do another order from Amazon and it may make sense to bundle together to minimise shipping. Trying not to go overboard. ;-)

Is the general consensus when replacing RFT's to normal tyres is go up one size width and keep the same profile, eg Front 225/40/18 - Rear 255/35/18. then increasing the tyre pressure to help retain suspension dynamics...or is this just too simplistic?
