New Member and Advice Needed...

Thanks again for all the advice folks...

A couple of other questions: if I go from from 205/70/R15 to 215/75/R15's, will it effect the gearing much? I do some fairly long trips in my Jimny and use 5th gear a lot and don't want to do anything that will bugger that up too much...

Also can anybody recomend a good AT type tyre in 215/75, plus the best place to source them?

Thanks again,

Peter

Ive got 215 75 but in a mud pattern and the gearing is affected but i can live with it fine, its not that bad. Think its about the biggest you should go if using a lot.

I find camskill great for tyres.

I was wondering if i could sneak in a set of 225 75 R15 Goodrich BFG AT's such that would fit ok without too adverse an effect on the gearing but I suspect the 215's sound to be a safer option...

I was also wondering about the Goodrich MKTM2's MUD' s but I'm again worried if they will too noisy on road??

You could probably get away with that i would have thought. They dont list that size on camskill in the bfg's though so not sure if they do them.

General grabber at2's are in that size, will you be doing any decent offroading? would you not prefer some mud tyres which are well behaved on road? Just after a recent trip out i seen how the
mud tyres and the all terrains were completlely different when it got a bit sloppy. SO pleased i went for muds now over A/T's.

I'm in North Wales, (near Chirk) so there are quite a few greenlanes to go at, some easy some not so easy...Not really looking at doing "pay and play", mud pits or trials/competions..

I've had AT in the past on a Trooper and they were *ok* but as you say not brilliant..A friend had some serious Muds (not sure what brand) on a Jeep and they were were noisy as hell, so it put me off them for a daily driver..

Do you find the Goodrich Muds acceptable on the road? Any down sides to them?

Yeh mate, the downside is the price......

There great on road, little noise as expected but far better than i thought! another good mud tyre for the road is the kumho kl71, bit cheaper too!

I'd definatly buy muds again, probably the bfg's again aswell because they are quite quiet and well behaved.
