what tyres? help needed please

[jonny6627]

Well having purchased a set of 15inch steels off a member i will be looking for a suitable tyre. I like the big chunky look but at present im at standard height although want to make higher. I want a tyre that is good on road too and not too expensive :thumbs

You need to decide your end goal for the truck first mate. Lifted or not, suspension mods or not. Green lanes or more aggressive pay n play day truck.
Then you can talk tyre size and tread pattern, and following along at the rear, price.

Thanks mate. It will be lifted but just by a couple inches. I will only be used on road and green laning and some towing a caravan lol.

I sold him the rims, I suggested a 30" size tyre no bigger for what he plans on doing.

My suggestion is same as above.

I can vouch for that!!!! They are immense tyres I run them on mine, I am due two new fronts at some point though

A mate at work has the bfg on his county l/r and swears by them, another has khumo KL 71`S and seems to think theyre better than most the more expensive tyres. I suppose too its down to budgets, but i would rather buy a good tyre that will last my daily commute and give me the enjoyment to start learning about off roading, (my first proper 4x4) :nenau i do know i will probably end up in the divorce courts having spent all our money on mods :lol will i be able to put these wheels and tyres straight on the truck or will i have to mod anything?

look up event maxxis ml698 at, they are identical to bfg and i can vouch for road manners(i did 22k on mine and they still had plus 7 mm of tread on. fraction of the price,same look/tread pattern and not remoulds either!


get these in a 31" and bobs your uncle..:thumbs

 

[jonny6627]

hey cheers bud, i`ll look into that, :thumbs

 

[AlexD333]

Event ml698, I took the plunge, they're great!

 

[jonny6627]

been offered some grabbers, but wondered if the size will be ok? 31x10.5x15 think theyre a bit wider so will i need to modify to fit?? cheers lads :thumb2
