Tires for RRC - Land Rovers Only

Rover Nick · 10-27-2005, 11:50 PM

I'm gettin a '95 RRC comin' in, and from what I hear, the tires are shot. I think i am goin with the BF Goodrich Mud terrains. Any suggestions on stock sizes and or other tires? This is mainly an off-roader, and its stock now, but i'm planning a 2 inch lift sometime. Any suggestions?

ive got 265/75/16 trxus m/ts on my DI and so far i am happy with em. they have siping on them which will help in the wet and they are suprisingly quiet on the street.

Those will fit nicely without any trimming, and work great.... As for me I am running 31 x10.50 that are a little aggressive so I had to trim, I have a 2 inch lift!!! I am going to a 33" soon....As far as tire type the BFGoodrich tires are great, they are a great mix of on road handleing and off road ability...

I am running 265/75R16's on mine with a 2" lift. Another good choice is 235/85R16's they are the same height as the 265's but a bit narrower.

Great size, great tire, I'd be running BFG MT's if it wasn't a DD.

Agree...........brings a tear to my eye.

I've never been a huge fan of the TWR bumpers and sideskirts. I wouldn't get them on mine, but they do look awesome! I just like the original chrome bumpers more.

Thanks for all the compliments, but truthfully, my Rangie looks great because it's a mall-cruiser. Basically a pose-mobile right now. I personally think the ones being used for what Rovers do best are the best looking ones out there, like the one a few photos above mine.
The TWR kit really compliments the look of the Classic, but would get destroyed if I took it off road. We purchased the vehicle when we found out my wife was pregnant 'cause we needed a vehicle we could put a car seat in. My D90 wouldn't work and our Jetta is pretty small. I wanted more protection for my wife and child and always loved the RR classics. Plus the price was right.
Eventually the plan is to start wheeling the Rangie. When I do, the first thing I'll do is pull the entire TWR kit off and replace it with bumpers and sliders, but for now I think it makes a very cool looking family truckster, since my wife would never be caught in a minivan.

Thanks again guys, I'll post more photos in the future.

Cheers,
Art Vigil
