biggest tyres on a surf

[TonyN]

Got 31X10.5X15's on my narrow body and they don't stick out at all. BTW, the legal situation is that if any wheel protrudes beyond the arch it's illegal.

Only the actual tread, sidewall bulge is fine.

265 x65 x16 rub on bolts which hold front mudflaps on i should know bzzzzzzzzzz when you use full lock

i've got 265 70 16's on... no rubbing there

So.... are 31's bigger in diameter than the 265's I still don't know what to fit? do I go for the BFgoodrich but the only BF's they have are the new Macadam's which are road tyres to me. LINDA if ya watching? what goodrich did they fit?

I had 265/70/R15 Yokohama road tyres. These were replaced with BFG All Terrains 31x10.50xR15. Very little difference in size. BUT hold in the mud MUCH better. Thought about the Mud Terrains,but to be honest thought I do too much road work to warrant that - If I continue to offroad a lot I'll think about MT's next time. The A/T's have so far been great. They haven't been slippy on wet road, they are not noticably noisier on the road unless it's very rutted (tho that could just be cause the cd's always on so loud lol), big test will be how they handle at the pit this sunday...

Thanks Linda for the onfo (thought you would be a bed) LOL.
let me know what you think of the BF's off road.....regards Mick

for most people who do onle a little off roading thena 70 30 split will do , the at are about a 50 50 split <linda> and a mt would be more like a 30 70 split and you will suffer on road with these namely v noisey and poor grip in the wet , if you want to go off road then best bet is to buy a spare set of rims and a set of remould mt`s should be able to get a set with rims for less than £400 and this would be best way to go as you will spend more time on road than off road also the more off road biased the tyres are the quicker they will wear out.

That's exactly why I bought the A/T's as I did..... They will stay on for the winter when I'm offroad on wet muddy fields at home all the time and I need the extra traction , (not to mention off road meets), but still not be too noisy on road as I do a fair bit of that too.

Then in the spring the road tyres will go back on for the drier conditions - after all had no probs with them all this summer - which shd reduce the wear on the A/T's. For me the A/T's seem the best solution and have been fine on the fields and tracks round home in the two weeks they have been on.

I'm happy with my choice for me - up to others to make their own decisions....
