Grizzly claws or Anaconda's ???
anaxemurderer:
i suspect you might feel like that if you saw alot of tyres in cross section (including remoulds) but point taken. Another issue with remoulds is the sidewalls. Most remoulds use old truck tyres for carcasses (cause of the size) which usually result in very stiff side walls.
Ment to mention earlier that anaconda's seem pretty rubbish on the road. Friend of mine won't do more than 50 mph on his set (but then i won't do more than 50mph on recips). Sure you would find people that drive faster on them though.
thepsychoman:
Looked at Insa Special Tracks? 265/75/16 are near enough 33" tyres and far better (and cheaper) than Grizzleys IMHO. Brill mud tyres!!!! 8)
Disco-Ron:
I have a set of 285 75 16 macho's in the garage just waiting for me to find some decent wheels with the right offset for my useage... then they'll be on the Disco!!
Highridge:
I am fairly new to serious off roading, I have a Bobtailed Range Rover Classic which I have recently fitted a set of used Anaconda's too and in my opinion you could not do any better.
They are I believe rated to 64mph on road and have only recently been classified as road legal, I drive slowly and carefully on the road mainly because I do not want to wear them out too quickly ;-)
I have seen far better, more expensive 4x4s struggle in situations that my RRC has managed with ease, I think that is entirely down to the tyres.
I have not got it lifted or down anything expensive too it.
I hope this helps.
drmike:
But sadly I don't think your tyres are speed rated for the vehicle and hence you probably don't have any insurance should they check!
As others often say: It's not the speed that you do it's the speed your can nominally do that counts.
