    you don't need to cut the guards if you get 2 inch lift, its not worth butchering the body when they won't do any rubbing

    One thing i would recommend with these tyres is a set of flares, as i do a lot of gravel road driving i will be getting a set of flexy flares as these tyres through up a lot of stones due to their self cleaning design.

    That's because Tyremax are wholesalers only (and I think importers), they supply the tyre shops.

    Now that iv got the Bighorns 245/75R16, i was wondering what sort of pressure i should run them at for city/highway driving. I don't carry any extra weight!

    Hope to hear from someone!

    My rule of thumb for LT muddies on road is to start with 40psi, then if too uncomfortable try lowering a little. But I put up with harshness in the belief that higher pressure rolls easier.

    Over time you can check wear over the width of the tread, and temperature/pressure rise after running some distance at highway speed. This will allow you to find best pressure for you.

    On outback dirt roads I will lower pressures considerably, depending on the road surface. The issue is to allow the tread to flex on the rocks that will otherwise damage the tyre.
