Another tyre thread...

[jmattley]

I know they've been discussed before, but I too am looking at some Insa's, the rangers to be precise (no-one has mentioned them before on here ).

Anyone here used the rangers before? What are they like on and off road?

Cheers guys.

 

[jmattley]

Come oooon, anyone at all?

 

[mysteryman]

Pardon my ignorance - wot is an insa? Is it a slitty? Cus I know where a good one is going fror a good price. I wouldn't touch one but each to their own

 

[jmattley]

Insa Turbo, it's a tyre manufacturer that makes decent remoulded tyres.

 

[mysteryman]

Ooops!!

 

[oil dripper]

just bfg all terrain copies int they?

 

[jmattley]

Looks like it, just that the Insas are a fook load cheaper.

 

[rustyrhinos]

Depends what you want them for I guess! I am thinking of Insa Mountains for my next tyre as they have a bit more tread for off road yet not too bad on road. Used them on the RR and they stood up very well both on and off road - 5500 miles on them and they have only just slightly shown wear.

 

[jmattley]

I see, when you say not too bad on road, do they still sound noisy as fook or are they ok? Do they bring you efficiency right down?

HI-JACK i got a quote on a some tyres today!!!

Michelin XZLs in 255/100R16 (101 size replaced the 900-16 XCL)

guess how much

 

[jimbot90]

go on

 

[G-man]

go on have a guess

 

[jimbot90]

£190 a peice

 

[G-man]

hahaha no miles out




£375+ vat





each




thats £1725 for 4 inc vat

 

[jimbot90]

fook that!

 

[jmattley]

Ouch, another question, for general on road and off road (although mainly on), would 265 x 75 be a bit excessive on a series 3? Be honest.

 

[jimbot90]

its not the size,its the tread pattern that sways its on or off road bias.

 

[G-man]

i am gonna say yes as they are wide! you'd be better off with 235/85R16s same hight less width so less strain on the axles

 

[jmattley]

Fair enough, I can see your point, theyre 50 50 on and off road, I think 265 would be a bit excessive since 265mm is 10"!!

 

[jmattley]

Another one as well while I'm here, I'd be able to run em on my tubeless 109 rims with an inner tube wouldn't I?
