--- Quote from: "MOTORSPORT_SAFETY" ---Hi Mark
I was thinking parabolics and have fitted a set before and I know a few people who use them and say yeah nice and soft but they use landys mainly on roads so wanted a 2nd opion
Yup knobblys it is mate got a set of BFG Tracedge here that I got for £10 a corner as I have 6 rims and 6 different tyres here so got them to get me going.
What would you recomend for tires anything over another I am think all terrains and to be honest the difference in fule is not a major issues just want something that will do the job oh and look good lol
not really a tyre expert, but i have some 'amazons' (big square knobbles in a v shape).
as for parabolics, the softer the better, on or off road.

first get some 750/16 deepstones tyres, oil your standard leaf springs. save your money and go and have fun. driven right a series will go anywere that what land rover built it reputation on 8) . is yours swb or lwb?
MOTORSPORT_SAFETY:
Hi all thanks for the replys food for thought.
My landy is a 109 so a LWB
I agree driven right it will go anywere dont want to go stupid on it as im wanting it as a play thing but dont want to go over board.
Im saving up for a 110 for that lol
What are the thoughts on the BFG tracedge are they any good or should I just forget them and get another set, they were cheap thats why I got them and none of the rims I have here had matching rubber or leagal rubber on them for a full set.

Trac Edge is one of the all time great universal on/off road tyres.

--- Quote from: "Devon-Rover" ---Not here to cause an argument but where is the concrete proof that para's give better articulation? Has there been a proper test done to see which actually gives better travel? It just seems an interest that when asked for better articulation that para's are given as read that they are best.
Just a thought?

i can only talk from my own experience, when i got my landy i did a bit of a test by driving one wheel up piles of concrete and stuff, and there was no noticable travel.
now iam well on with the rebuild, tested it again ( but with a trolley jack), and theres loads more travel. also when i bounce on it moves now.
