Yes another tyre question !!!
« on: August 12, 2007, 10:43:55 »
I currently have 235/85-16 Greenway Machoes on my Disco.
It has a 3 inch suspension lift, 2 inch body lift and cut & extended arches.
I am quite happy with the Machos for now but i would like something a bit wider, these are currently 8 inches wide and seem a bit skinny.
I dont want to increase the diameter of the tire by to much but i would like something about 10 inches wide.

Any suggested sizes

regards
wizard :twisted:

I was just looking at them.
I might go for the 285/75. The tyres i have at the moment are only a few months old so i will have to wait a bit before getting another set.

dont forget 285's are 33 inch
265's are only 31 inch
hence why your blowing diffs and shafts

and the lead in your right foot  :twisted:

narrow tyres are better, wide tyres tend to float about on loose stuff, and while they will be great in sand etc, the first bit of soggy clay/moist tarmca and you`ll be slipping about!


stick with the 235`s! :wink:
