tyres now fitted.... quick question

wiltshire landyman · Jun 6, 2008

ok i had 235/85/16 tyres on my 90 which were all terrains..i have now fitted some insa turbo mud tyres 265/75/16..so i assumed they would not be as tall bu they are nearly identical in height size and im a bit worried that they might be too close to the archs with the big nobbly bits on the tyres..i havent road tested it yet,but just rollin it down the drive it felt very lumpy,but i aint gonna do many road miles anyway,its all about mud..anyone got any thoughts on theese tyres and sizes..ta

Can you let me know how you get on with them both on and off road as I am looking at getting some the same size myself in the next few weeks.

Cheers. What are they like on road and what pressures are you running em at?

Sirus · Jun 6, 2008

He runs em at 20 mph cause thas as fast as his bus will go so handling is always fine
