Howdy Stevo , Mate i have taken the disco for a good run in the wet weather and the maxxis hold the road great . there was no drifting or sliding and i was taking the corners just as hard as i would in the dry ...... my grin keeps getting bigger and bigger with the bighorns :D;).

well looks like the bighorns also for me,
what is the biggest and thinnest? that i can get under my d1??

Harry,

I think they come in a 225/75 which is about the same height as your current (and bald :wasntme:) set of BFG's. I know Goodyear make the mt/r's in that size but they're bloody exxy.

You could get 245/75's under your D1 if you're keen to get handy with the grinder on the rear guards (the lip on the bottom rear needs trimming or you'll bend the guard back when the tyres go up in the suspension travel). These are a good all-round size and you'll be able to tackle most things with a modicum of clerance.

Nath and Navron both run Bighorns from memory, Nath in a 33 - 255/85/16 from memory (which runs at almost 35 with full tread!) and Navron a 31 - 265/70/16. Nath has a 4inch spring lift, Nav has a 2inch spring lift. Both running standard offset alloys both requiring just a camel cut. Nath restricted up travel with extended bump stops though.

My BFGs are 285/75/16 which run just under 33inch but are wider then the 255/85 which are taller and narrow.

A little cut and we can make anything fit :)
