Sorry,.....Another Tyre Question!

<< < (3/3)

AMRDS:
Hi Tim,

I've had Colway Mt's on the old Range Rover and Bronco Grip Edge on the Disco. They both tend to cut easily on the sharper terrain and although the Colway MT are more noisey & lower fuel economy, they tend to dig in and get you out of heavy mud a lot better - climbing out of deeper ruts when necessary is fairly instant. Having said that the Grip Edge are very good although don't appear to be wearing as well.

I thought about getting the Grizzly Claw: a) they look the K9 love lumps 8) , b) relatively cheap.... but opted for the grip edge because we use the car as everyday transport & like getting it dirty. The RR came with all terrains but they weren't up to much.

The Grip Edge unfortunately only come in 235/85/R16's which required 2" lift & a short back 'n' sides on the wheel arches! However as suggested, the higher you get the diffs - the less chance you have of getting stuck & farmers don't come cheap.  :oops:  We found the extra height to our advantage at the weekend when we took the Wayfarers Route in Wales which has some nasty deep muddy ruts & drops - the Grip Edge did very well  \:D/
