Oh yeah!

Just had the call at work from the tyre specialist, our maintanence chap ran the wheels down to fit these bad boys in the van, and he had just come back.

Whatcha think?

£50 for the wheels, valeter cleaned em right up, and £100 per corner

£450 all in inc balancing ect

and I can pay over 2/3 months

Let the fitting commence tomorrow

If I told you that, i'd have to kill you

I should mention that £450 includes the wheels I bought from you too!

R1cho · 19-02-2015, 15:39

them tyres are only £100 a corner anyway if you go to the right place, the small tyre fitters round the corner from me can get them for £115 a corner fitted

Cheapest I found was 105+ vat + fitting, so £400 all in is pretty good

the £50 is the wheel cost from Banshee

Are you sure that tread pattern is aggressive enough for your needs

So you keep saying 33" what actual size are they.

Kind regards

Russell.

Fez_uk · 19-02-2015, 17:05

Probably the same as his old ones

They rarely measure in at 33" though, Will be more like 32 or 32.5".

My 35x10.50x16 Fedimas measure in at about 36.5"

russell.huffer · 19-02-2015, 17:45

Closest metric size seems to be 265 85 15 which makes sense as slightly narrower than my 285s so he has a chance of them not rubbing to bad, I hope.

Duck it, im getting out the tape measure,

be back

Sweety · 19-02-2015, 18:29

Oh you went with the new style BFG MT's then

thought they weren't macho enough for you

thought you wanted the old style with the same tread pattern as you had on

If you get stuck now you either shouldn't be driving the lane due to it's condition or it's your driving style, TBH it's not all about the centre tread pattern it's also how much side lugs a tyre has which the BFG's have a lot of

elty001 · 19-02-2015, 19:07

My 33 12.50 15 are more like 32 1/2 x 11 1/2.
Looking good though mate.
Looking forward to seeing them on the terrano

firebobby · 19-02-2015, 20:13
