lambert:
Hi all. The old boy was asking me if the 90 could be run with all terrains on the front and muds on the back. His idea being better cornering and stopping with more traction. Apparently this used to happen a lot and to be fair his jimny has roadies up front and at's on the back for this very reason. The difference being perm and selective 4x4. Will the 90 cope or will it start eating it self.

hrh_dave:
One issue could be insurance, although they may be the same size its different tread patterns... If you had an accident and somebody noticed, this could invalidate your insurance.

LandRoger:

I bought a 90 from the Coast Guard fleet a couple of years ago that came with same set up
BFG ATs on front BFG Muds on the back, cant say I noticed any difference in the way it drove or gripped  .

lambert:
Tbh  my personal preference is at's all round as it is better on fuel.will have to see if i can scare him off the idea with it needing insurance approval. Cheers chaps.

lambert:
Well i got horribly stuck yesterday trying to get a part loaded sankey out of a field gate. Diff marks on the floor and mud on the bonnet stuck, took 2 hours to do a 20min job. At's all round may not be the best bet. Will have to talk to insurance and see what they say.
