Tyre rub

<< < (2/2)

Disco Matt:
I suspect that some mud tyres are slightly larger than their posted dimensions. I know my Insa Turbo Dakars rub slightly on full left lock, while I never had a problem with the BFG A/Ts before them. It's most likely the knobbly bits at the edges of the tread, which are more pronounced than on A/Ts.

mattyme:
the 235 in the tyre size is actually the nominal tread width and can be anything up to 15 mm more than the actual figure.

crazymac:
My Macho's do the same.

If you put one alongside an AT version of the same size then you will see that they are indeed larger diameter!

Its down to the treadblocks and the fact they are a remould, so they are on top of the original carcass so to speak.
