--- Quote from: "ukmudmaster" ---Right! Tyres are on, got a new Avon Rangemaster as a spare from my local tyre dealer ( Essex Tyres , highly recommended, ) and they look really good, fill the arches a treat! On standard springs they just about miss everything!
One downside though, the gearing is a lot higher, no real problem as I dont tow with it, but will keep the original tyres just in case.

What is the problem with towing using these tyres? I'd have thought you'd get a welcome improvement in fuel economy?
Range Rover Blues:
I run 235/85 BFG MT and If I tow the Sankey with the hood on I havn't got enough torque to stay in 5th if there is any wind at all, I can't pull away that sharply and I have to be very carefull driving out of corners as the back end can get a bit loose with a heavy trailer hanging on it.
Once they are run-in the BFG seem a lot softer than they were.
ukmudmaster:
OK..... front springs are on. The bottom nuts on the dampers put up a fight, been on there about 18 years. Dampers are still good though. Going to get gas dampers as the budget allows. So , now it sits a little taller, a bit more level, and I can look down on most the traffic!.
Will post an up to pic soon.

--- Quote from: "ukmudmaster" ---Well....... it went out in the mud yesterday! These things do put a smile on your face, don't they?
Today fitted +1" rear springs, the fronts go on tomorrow. It's beginning to look as if it means business now.
