mrs wizards Freelander is in need of new boots later this year.
it currently has 195/70-15 on, is 205/70 -15 the biggest it can take without lifting it ?
I was thinking of BFG's A/T, anyone got any better suggestions.

Hi there
All I can say is don't look around just get 215/75 15 BFG AT's fitted.  They have transformed my 3 dr TD4.  I had Genral XP2000s fitted prior to the BFG's and I do 50 miles each way to work and managed to wear them out in under 9k miles (to my disgust).  
I was also recently using the M6 A14 route from the Mids to Norfolk seeing 3 figures on the speedo on a few occasions without any 'ear bleeding' road noise infact the wind noise was more of an issue.
So far the BFG's have lost .75mm of tread in 3500 miles which should equate to 58K before they become due for change.
I paid £376 inc vat fitted and Balanced.

So to recap just do it!!

Regards

Tony

if you want slightly cheaper tyres I have General Grabber AT2s in 205/75 R15 tyres on mine  :D

BFGs Vs Cooper STTs????

Im still undecided as to which I will go for next....B011cks to the noise (currently running on diamond backs) I need somthing to handle mainly rocky tracks so will be having a closer look at both.
