These are my current tyre

31x1050R15

Bloody awesome but a soft tyre wall for rock as i found out the hard way :doh


So

In the summer I will be changing to these

Will report back then :thumbs



--------------------------------------------------

New bloody EU Laws due in, in September 2012 will heavily effect the 4x4 off road market as the tread must be level due to on road grip :clap & NOISE
Another reason why off road tyres are hard to get in the bigger sizes as most tyres are being redeveloped like the KL71's which are about to be launched with level tread & wider openings :sly :naughty ( should of done it in the 1st place ) ready for the new laws.

Hence my above choice :sly :naughty :augie :thumbs

After today, I think muds are overkill for the summer. having done that muddy rutted lane on my runway enduro ht road tyres with 2mm tread if that, i'm thinking standard a/t's will do for this summer into winter.

and these are CHEAP !!! :

i have been on these for over year now great on and off road

http://www.camskill.co.uk/m56b2377s...ANDAR_ATS_YOKOHAMA_G_012_-_255_65R17_110H_TL_

but would have a set of cooper discoverer st/stt if could afford a new set

 

[(RIP) PLANK]

I use AT's all year round, to be honest Muds are crap on winter (and summer) roads and how much time do you spend off road? I go off road virtualy every day and still think muds are a bit OTT for 99% of the time :nenau

 

[melissachels]

i have decided on these:

http://www.4x4tyres.com/31-1050-15-insa-turbo-sahara-mud-retread--tyre-109q

will give report l8r on both on and off road uses, tho on road will only be to events and back. normal tyres otherwise.

drumclog being my nearest haunt it will be interesting :naughty

I got Muds on mine, but only cos i got all 4 with steel rims for £160.

Not sure what i will upgrad to when they die on me though. Thinking of getting some 33's

will they fit with no modifications?

excellent, a good find! thanks

Okay, could be I'm simple and have missed it somewhere else, what sizes will run on a standard T2 without removing bits or wielding a big hammer?

My truck has a hideous mix of tyres on, Avon down one side, Maxxis and Kingstar on the other :doh. If nowt else I need to get the pair of Avon's onto one axle and at least all the black circles same original size - 235 x 75 x 15 - but I would like to sort something out before next winter comes around. (That's quite soon up here!) and maybe replace all 4.

As I spend too much time in Chelsea tractor mode and not enough time in the mud, I would be keen to put a bigger overall tyre on to get higher speeds on road at lower revs if poss, but I don't have the insurance to go modifying the vehicle. (hmmm, does that immediately discount different tyre sizes? )

Wish no mods, no they won't

 

[melissachels]

No idea

 

[(RIP) PLANK]

I think they are yes, but nowt wrong with that!

 

[melissachels]

I'm no really riders if they are, they r only 4 events,

as for mods i'm gonna try n see but I fully expect hammer n grinder 2 join me

I have read a few old threads and posts, and used a tyre size calculator and it appears that the largest tyres that will fit without mods are 31 10.5 15, though it has been suggested that front flaps may have to be removed. I am no expert just re-stating what has been said by other members.

also inner arch at back of front wing will need cutting or hammering back. With muds anyway
