I'm brand new at this 4x4 malarky, but wondered if anyone could give some advice on tyres.
I just bought a 2001 Colorado 3.0 to take out to Zambia for a couple of years. It has a set of Dunlop tyres (265 70R 16 112 S) on, but the back ones are worn, so I want to get a new set to ship out with the truck. That way I can drive around on the current tyres while we get our bearings out there and then switch to the new set once we decide to head out into the bush.
I don't really get all of the jargon about tyres though. I assume that want to go for 16" again, & 265 width, but does changing any of the other bits matter? Should I just be going for 265 70R 16?
A few people on here have recommended Camskills, so I've been looking there at these:

Does anyone know if these would be decent for some Zambian national park action (while still driving mostly around the city). Any other suggestions? Any help would be much appreciated
