Thread: Tyres are ordered, Any tips?

Question. Are those dickie seats still usable? If not might be an idea to put a raised floor to cover the tank and get your cargo area back. Although slightly smaller.One thing i can advise about the tyres and it is the most obvious one. Check the pressures every now and then, don't ignore them like I have the last few months. Noticed the other day the left rear was looking a little down, but thought it was due to the load in the back. Checked and it was down to 19PSI. No puntures just s strange one. Always seems to be that side since day 1 almost 15 yrs ago.
Cheers

Planning to go off road?
If so, my tip is to ditch the LR towbar & stick on a Hayman Reese/ARB type. That thing is a plough .

With 265/75's you will need flares if you plan on getting it flexing offroad.

Not that strange, really. Did you know tyres are porous?
I didn't until a very well known tyre importer/manufacturer/wholesaler/retailer spoke "tyres" at a club meeting.

The lpg tanks seem to be the biggest plough of the lot so a different towbar won't make a whole lot of difference!

Aah, but the tank is a 'smooth' plough (and a bit further forward).

I had the same twin tank setup in my old rangie and didnt find that they hindered the clearance at all, i think there was about only about 50mm difference from original tank to lpg tanks.

Yeah I have no use for the tow bar, its going to be coming fully off, the tanks sit fairly higher then the diff and the tow bar so should not be a problem, the tires will just ensure that bit of extra clearance and traction and bigger foot print to cope with the extra weight, thanks for the tips. I have already removed the seats in the back :-D you do surprisingly get more room then you think, currently looking for something to go over the tanks. Current tires are 205/r16, does anyone know the speedo difference? and can the speedo be adjusted?
Also is there any good place to get the flares from at a good price?
