110 Tyres, getting the size and the look right

<< < (4/4)

MTyrrell:
I'm running 255/85/r16 wildcat MT's on my 110 with the standard suspension set-up. Not had any problems.

I can get 'em locally but 750's are not exactly 'speed' rated for the Disco  :lol: Thought about it tho'

im sure they are,well the michi's i have,specially as they are fitted to the wolfs which pull over a ton as standard

Mike, it's not the load rating but the speed rating. A disco shouldn't be fitted with anything less than the spec it left the factory with, that is Q i believe. 100 mph maximum constant speed rating. N is only 88 mph. I know this seems irrelavent as our speed limit is 70mph but your insurance will look closely at your tyres should you have an accident caused by a blown tyre. I'm not sure whether it's an MOT requirement too ? I stand to be corrected. :wink:  The michelin 235/85's rather than the 750's are Q rated though.

Greenlanekit:
1 inch I know, but seriousely will they effect handling off road ability or is it just the look?
