245/75R16's with a 2" lift and slight camel cut and your cheering! Thats what i have and love it! And i haven't noticed any economy changes and the gearing isn't to tall. But i will go to 4.11's in the future :)
Seems you have more than one gear, getting up hills isnt too much of a challenge but I have noticed it feels a little more sluggish although it is marginally quicker since I fitted the bigger boots.Quote:

One thing to think about though, if your driving stop start traffic all the time, the taller heavier thyre will take more power (thus fuel) to get them moving.
If youre driving at Hwy speeds most of the time there will be little difference.
One thing that's not been mentioned so far is the affect on braking.
I really notice the difference when I put my 7.50/16s on my RR compared to the 235/70/16 road tyres. On road engine braking is obviously affected too.
Ive noticed bugger all difference to be honest.Quote:

The biggest difference that been made to my brakes as the pads.
Ive fitted Bendix 4wd pads and they are excellent when cold and even grippyer when hot until they get red hot and then the go off fairly slowly but all that takes ages.
pretty keen on the mickey t atz 4 rib but the smallest they come in is 265/75/16 which is a 32 is that to tall on standard gearing and standard brakes, would i be doing breakages with this tall or should it be right, will a guard trim have them fitting
well had a blow out on the old ones the smornin so im getting newies this week, i like the mickey t atz 4 rib but the smallest they come in is a 265/75/16 is this to big, will it struggle to turn and stop them will they cause excess wear and breakages
I`v just had cooper atr`s fittered to my d1 300tdi 245/70/16 and they hit the guards when turning full circle.

thats a 10% change in diameter.. Not too radical but yes will be a little sluggish off the line.
The Camel TDIs ran 235-85-16 which is same height as 265-75-16...
You'll need a camel cut on back guards and it will be more than liveable...
Look at getting an upgraded IC and a retune of the pump by a decent Landy tuner.....
By the way, where are you based??? Landy owner formerly known as Jeep Boy :cool:
Where do they contact? Go take a piccy for us with the wheel turned into position....Quote:

Although a good 'crunch' is enough to get the big wheel, cut guard, flare thing happening ;)
