wheel swap - Land Rovers Only

bama · 12-15-2006, 09:48 AM

Ok Im trading someone here today for there 16's for my 18's, i want to know what size tire i can run with no lift, i have trimmed the front bumper already let me know guys

i ran my 265/75 r16 (roughly 32") before my lift. They will be fine as long as you dont flex it up too much. They will be a little tight in the wheel wells but fine on the highway. They will rub on the radius arms at full lock. Do you think you might could get off work on like January 3rd and 4th and head up to Windrock OHV park with us? We are gonna have a blast!

I already put in a request and waiting for an answer from my service director, i hope so!!! Im excited waiting for this guy to come up and swap wheels, i think im going with a mud terrain!? Any reccomendations.....

drum655 · 12-15-2006, 10:35 AM

well are you getting the tires today? what tires are currently on the wheels. I would recommend BFG Mt's, or if you want to go the cheaper route you can get Maxxis Buckshot Mudders or something like that. I have BFG AT's which is a suppurb off road tire and do GREAT on the pavement. But my next tires will prolly be BFG MT's!!!

I hope to get everything done today, I think i may go with a BFG mt, i know i want a mud terrain.

drum655 · 12-15-2006, 11:30 AM

i want mud terrains too! let me know what price you get on yours...i may be in the market real soon!

bama · 12-15-2006, 12:07 PM

265/75/16....bfg mud terrain t/a km 170.00 each
or yoko geolander 150.00 each, the yoko looks pretty nice

AlaskaBound · 12-15-2006, 12:09 PM

The tread life on MT's are WAY less than an A/T... just something to think about... tires are pricey!!!

bama · 12-15-2006, 12:12 PM

let me know if yall find them cheaper!!! with shipping included, i will need tires as soon as i can get them

drum655 · 12-15-2006, 12:20 PM

170...thats a pretty good price. The BFG has three ply sidewalls which makes them superior to the yokos!!! just my 2 cents

bama · 12-15-2006, 12:28 PM

i dont see any just bfg m/t's they, i can only get the m/t km's whats the difference

drum655 · 12-15-2006, 12:42 PM

thats the one. their tires have 3 plys on the sidewalls which really aid when air down and driving on harsh rocky terrain. The BFG ATs and MTs have 3 plys! good luck...what size you gonna go with, and when are you installing the lift?

bama · 12-15-2006, 12:46 PM

265/75/16, Lift will probally be a month or so out! christmas time hurt me bad! But i think im going to go ahead and get the tires as soon as my wheels show up

drum655 · 12-15-2006, 12:51 PM

bama · 12-15-2006, 12:57 PM
