Wheels/Tyres

Hello ladies,

My freelander is needing some new high heels, er I mean tyres...

Aye, so... does anyone recommend a certain heel height or.. no, I mean... tyre width? sidewall?

It's got tiny 215's on it just now, but i'd like some better tyres. Of course, i'm on the mway to work most of the time but I stay in the middle of nowhere so travel about 10miles of country road too so I want something middle of the shoe stand... er, I mean road.

What can I fit under the arches? height and width?

Any ideas?

I don't know what size to go for... I want more sidewall so 16 might be too big? I hope to put it on steroids (raise it suspension wise) in the future so I want larger tyres.

I'll contact Rochford and see what they say.

Thanks Gary for the reply.

If you go for larger wheels i.e 17 or 18 inch, then you are limiting your tyre choice- with NO off road or all terrain options available to fit the Gaylander above 16 inch, and boy have I looked! (Check out the prices as well).
You will also REDUCE the tyre profile (wall height) if you go for a larger wheel.
Raising the suspension on a Gaylander doesn't mean that bigger tyres will fit- the coil over shock is a limiting factor as the base of the coil protrudes over the top of the tyre. Wheel spacers may be a better option.

I run 215/80 Kumho KL78's on 15" steel rims for laning, standard size on my 17" alloys.
See chart for tyre sizes.
