37s on a disco is it next big thing to have
mentalmoshio sophs V8i:
they would be fitted to 16x8 steel rims . its 10.5 wide im really looking for but it is early days .
with enough lift on the body 12.5 will be legal for the law.
12.5 for the fat look i really like
they do them upto 14.5 wide.
im running 265 and was going to fit 32/11.5/16 but couldnt find the tyres i wanted.

right so there you go contradicting yourself???lol so you dont want wide tyres because they weigh more and so sink?? have you EVER driven with wide tyres? Have you ever been offroad?
Anyway go on fella maybe 10 inch lift and 40's is what you need. Just remember that your engine will struggle to make 40 on the road and break the diffs/halfshafts/cvs every time you sneeze.....
Tyre speed rating is nothing to do with tread depth...where did you get that idea??
The Performance Symbol indicates the maximum speed at which the tyre can carry it's maximum load.
The performance symbol of tyres are as follows:
Q : 99 mph,
R : 106 mph
S : 112 mph
T : 118 mph
H : 131 mph
VR : > 131 mph
V : 149 mph
ZR : > 149 mph.
W : 168 mph
Y : 186 mph
mine are rated as Q which is legal as the spec for my 3.5 says it will do 98 mph lol...but i think you will find most MTS are illegal for road use.
oh and its rock CRAWLING.

wide tyres are better for floatation i.e on sand. narrow tyres are better for deep mud.
10.5 is ideal and used for most comp. discos.but they are not available yet in plus 35s . to what i have found.
Bulli:
so if i wrote a load of advertising blurp that would make it right?
most articles in magazines use extracts from the manufacturer and are in some way biased...sorry guys in the trade(you know who you are).
so they are illegal on your truck then....great! hope you dont have an accident and find yourself without insurnace.
So build it, go on im waiting.... :roll:
