You can't even deflate the tire if needed.
Yes you can  ran them at 20 /25 psi with no problems at all, they did suffer a bit of sidewall 'pinching' at lower pressures though, but I suppose the extra weight of all the kit didn't help...

The wait is over. 
Should have put it on this post:
They are now available in Oz at least, checked with dealer- sold a few already.

I've been waiting for these for 5 months. Emailed the manufacturer last week and was told they are not yet scheduled for production. May get the Dunlop ST8000's until these finally ship. I'm tired of waiting!

Wrong Info from tyre dealer.
What is the story with thes e tyres?
Dealer said they had them.
Rang supplier, told no. Production sheduled for mid Feb. Should be here mid March!
Now Rickster says the manufacture doesn,t know when!  “There are only three sports: bullfighting, motor racing, and mountaineering; all the rest are merely gamesâ€

I couldn't wait any longer! So I just ordered the Nitto Terra Grapplers in 285/60 R18. Will have them installed on 2/19. Will report back then, hopefully with pics.

Just read on the USA website for BFG that they have recently introduced an AT 265/65R/18. Maybe this will hit our shores soon.

As expected
Reifen.de .....
http://www.reifen.com/tire/search.do?speed...nextStep=6
The internet is a marvelous thing (excuse me for my englisch)
Shipping to UK should be € 5,10 a tire.... Sounds interesting I think..
