Just in case you didn't try them yet, national tyres might have them

Emmm ... i searched for BF Goodrich for a very long time during the past month, and this is what i discovered:
- Al Futaim (the authorized dealer) didn't bring any stock since almost a year
- New GCC regulations are stopping all shipments in order for brands to comply with the GCC standards, and our friends in US are not responding (due to the market size i think)
- I have even checked with MickyThompson (Ramy4x4), and the latest shipment is stuck in customs for the same reason.

I have been looking for these as well with no luck. National doesn't have them. Market seems dry at the moment, can't even find Coopers. On the Yokohama website I saw Geolanders that come in that size but unfortunately no one seems to have them around here...

I was at Jamal's and he doesn't have any either.

Not to hijack, but they do have Toyos and Kumho's in that size, anyone have any experience with those? Almost same price as the Goodrich and the Cooper, recommended?

Im looking for the same size too, i only found kumho (850dhs) and procomp (1100 dhs). Bridgestone dealer in shj has 285/65R17 tires for 900 dhs.

I noticed that the kumho is the lightest among other tyres with same size, the one available in our market is kumho KL78. It comes in two versions, standard sidewall (44 pounds) and alternate side wall (51 pounds), other tyres like geolander, BFG and michelin are around 55 pounds.
