Advice needed please

Hi All.

Just a quicky to pick your brains if I can.

I've got the opportunity to SWAP a new set of 30 x 9.5 x 15 BF Goodridge A/T tyres on 15" alloys, for my near worn 265/70/16 Bridgestone Duellers on Surf 3rd Gen standard alloys. What I need to know is? How would they make the vehicles perform and would it cause any damage to either vehicle, the other vehicle being a Mitsi Challenger.

Many Thanks

Don't do it, you need 30 x 10.5 x 15 9.5's will look to skinny under the wider arches on your 3rd gen.

Thanks for that guys, but they're definately 16" rims on mine and cos of that, it's a mare trying to get BFG's A/T.

I know a place that does the 265/70/R16 BFG A/T but they're pricey... about £440 for 4 I recall... and its in Hants... if you're interested I can get the phone number for you...

That'll be good Linda, thanks. I'm still shopping around so another number wouldnt hurt. The dearest price so far is £545, so I wont be going there...

http://www.micheldever.co.uk/ Got my BFG's there and had the alignment done at the same time - dead impressed that their computers had all the different models/years of surf on with all the correct settings. There was even a surf in the car park...

(Or if you decide to go up to Ian's we can deliver his tyres to you in Stevenage... )

Don't go for the Duellers unless you want good road tyres - they are useless off road as I found out at the Pit on Sunday, nearly didn't even get to the car park.

He he. I dont think his tyres would get there. I bet they would look better on my Surf.

Thats a good price, talk about the North/South divide???
Trouble is, It would cost me the price of a new set of tyres getting yours from Linda and delivering them to you mate...

What we need is, is a cunning plan.
