Sorry:(

So I was on a ferry boat with my vehicle that has 265/75-16"s on it.
Parked directly in front of me was a black 110 (beauty).
I notices the 110 also had BFG MT's on it but they were slightly bigger, a little taller and a little wider and they seemed to fill out the wheel wells much better than mine. And were on stock wheels.
So I got a pen and paper and wrote down the size and gave the paper to the Wife.
She of course has lost the paper.:mad:

The tyres were 16 ", but I cannot remember the rest.

Any thoughts?

I would like to go a bit bigger next time. Keep in mind mine has a 2" lift. I think the 110 was stock height but the tyres were visibly bigger.

Thanks.
 
Thanks,

One other thing,

These were BFG M2 K2 and looked just like mine, BUT they also had the word BAJA on the sidewall. My MT's do not say BAJA.

I have looked at the BFG site and the only BAJA tyres that I can find are completely different.

Did I have too much beer on the ferry or is there a BFG MT K2 BAJA??
 
Hi Natas,

Yes, very happy, except it seems you can find the 265 's a lot easier and cheaper. Do not have a spare at the moment, and finding a spare second hand is difficult.

Landy has a 2inch lift,

steering locks are set so no rubbing. turning circle seems Ok.

If anything they sometimes look too big on a 90. like a kiddies toy car. ( but I like it)

They were fitted when i got it, If I had a choice i would probably stick with a smallet 255 or 265 size.

Cheers
 
Anything less than a 285/75/16 is considered girly. :p

Nothing wrong with them at all on a 90. thats what mine has, no rubbing at the front or the rear and only on the most severe of axle twisting did they catch the arch.

Slight speedo correction needed but not much.
 
Surprised you're destroying BFG's .. how do you do it? I'd suggest that any lesser tyres would be eaten way quicker ..
 
The first one I dropped into a hole (limestone) and sliced a 2 1/2" hole in the side.
Second one the tread started to separate from the actual tyre !!!!!???
And the third is my fault, my front went out of allignment and pretty much destroyed the tyre. Got really noisy making a wawawawawa noise.
