Got these 5.5" wheels for a trailer build I'll be doing. Had them sandblasted and primed and today I'll paint then in OD. These are AYG8038 wheels by ROH Australia.
I'll also be giving the canvas a coat or two of this stuff

And here they are. Thinking i might get new rubber for the perentie and use the xzl's on the trailer because they still have plenty of tread. Not sure what rubber to get yet. Any suggestions? I like the xzl's and would want something similar if not the same. Was looking at wrangler tg's too![]()
I am aware that tyres are very much a personal choice thing, but I have found BFG MTs in 235 85 16 (7.50 X 16 equivalent) to be quiet enough and long wearing and trouble free, and are claimed to have stronger side walls than their competitors. AFAIK they are only made in tubeless.
There are some well publicised brands that I would avoid.
FWIW I use D1 rims (readily available, cheap and tubeless).
I have over 200kkm on 235/85r16 KM2s, 120kkm off the first set and I'm now on my second which are looking like they'll do the same distance. Brilliant tyres.
I'm guessing you mean Coopers? I replaced a set just this past week where one had just about worn octagonal...
AYG8038 wheels are from CKD Series 3s; so far as I can tell they're identical to AYG8108 wheels except for the offset.
I had the same problem with my stt's on my nissan patrol. They were horribly feathered but i think it was due to a lot of highway k's with bad bushes and never rotating or doing a wheel alignment..
Im not sure if i want to go with a bfg km2. For the type of off-roading i do i cant justify the price. All i want is a strong tire like my xzl's at a reasonable price, i want to keep the tubes and i want to try and keep the military look. Thats why the wrangler tg's caught my eye. Anyone ever fitted them? Someone on here wrote a post the other day about fitting some.
