Title: Tyres for Terrano 2
Post by: mudcop on January 16, 2009, 20:35:38

Hi what are the biggest mud tyres I can fit to a Terrano 2 that is completely standard suspension wise, and where are the best suppliers, car has standard steel wheels at present, thanks

Standard wheels come in 2 width. Early ones may have 6" steels on, all the rest are 7" wether alloy or steel.

If on 7" wheels then the biggest you can get on are 31/10.5/15s - but it does vary a bit brand to brand. Remoulds in particular can be a bit bigger than new tyres. YOu may have to remove your front mud flaps to get em on.

Also has your front suspension been reset to standard. These trucks all sag with age and need the torsion bars winding up to relevel them - do this first you've no hope with bigger tyres if the front end is too low and you'll be loosing clearance too. My last one was 40mm down on standard - and I've seen them much worse than that on the road.

if on 215's it may only be on 6" steels then - 31s are a bit wide for them really you'd be better of sorcing some more rims really.
