Mean Tires

[Donk_UK]

Hi all found a nail in my rear tire whats the biggest baddest on off road tire I could replace them with? Money no object for my baby's feet.

At the moment i have got dunlop grandtrek at1 fitted to mine and they look pretty aggressive, depends on how good a ride you want on road. I did have at2 before them and they drove very well on the road but dont look nearly as aggressive.AT1 are fine to drive on road but just a bit noisier(nowhere near as noisy as mud tyres though)and a litle bit slippy on cornering hard in the wet, a few rear end wayward moments have occured with them but only when pushing really hard.
As for size i think 31/10.5/15 are about the biggest on standard height, i did get away with 265/75/16 which is slightly bigger but have since lifted 2".
Hope that helps.

and for the 265/75/16 you'd need bigger rims

I'm glad you have cleared that up, i was wondering why i had to put a large bead of mastic between the tyre and rim to get them to seal, would that be why i am having trouble getting them balanced then

He may foul his arches & mudflaps with that size on standard suspension.

OK great cheers for the help where can I buy online? Getting a headache searching for places, can only find rather boring looking road tires in that size.
I Like the look of the BF Goodrich Mud Terrain A/T KM 's but dont think on road would be all that safe on wet bendy bits, fun I'll admit but not to safe.

hi mate try www.mytyres.co.uk very cheap if they have what you want.

[Slugsie]

Try these . £265+vat and delivery for 4 Colway 31/10.5/15 MTs on rims. Pretty mean looking, and a pretty good price too. (£219 if you have white rims).

I think they are, but not sure. The subject of remoulds has been covered before to no conclusion. Some people are quite happy to run them, others wouldn't touch them with a barge pole. Personally, I'd be quite happy to run them, just need to save up for them (and some other bits )

I run BRONCO remoulds & they are fine. REMOULDS have come a long way and are very reliable offroad & on. I also tow 1500kgs while running on these tyres. www.bronco4x4.com

I use Bridgestone Dueller H/T's on my Surf (265 70 R16) - original tyre when bought new in Japan. Got a very good deal from the local Mitsubishi garage after being put onto them by a colleague of mine who drives an L200. Basically, they are part worn (delivery mileage only), still have red and blue chalk around them, when customers request 50/50 on their new L200's, the garage take off the original tyres and put them in a cage. Can't sell them as new tyres but will sell them as part worn if asked. Sold them to me at £55 + VAT, got a mate who fits them at a tenner a pop.

Hehe - if you want biggest baddest how about Boggers? Check out the pics of Tony's pickup on our website...

BFG M/T's have been well thought of on here - Koi has them and swears they are great on the raod even when wet. My BFG A/T's are super in the wet but maybe not agressive enough for what you are looking for.

For a cheaper option Kumho M/T's are great. We've run them on a couple of trucks for several years and they wear well.

For a good deal try Micheldever Tyres near Andover - not that far from you. They are very reasonably priced (about £80 for BFG A/T and £90 for M/T, or £60ish for Kumho M/T, last time I asked and they usually have them in stock.)
