There are millions of places close to Melbourne with passable tracks..what are some on about...
unless your talking about the speed humps at Chadstone shopping centre.

I don't think they should be banned. I personally don't use large tyres now. Used to, but found they caused too many overall problems with the added strain ie, wheel bearings, raise the centre of gravity, non-existent turning circle, etc, & are bloody heavy!

We sometimes run 35's on the Rangie, & can't say I've noticed any undue deterioration on the tracks.

But if you can afford to modify everything to go with the big tyres, & want them, then go for it! No doubt, in the next few years they will be banned, along with everything else, so may as well use them while you can.

So many people out there with 35's and bigger, just going out a tearing up tracks, making them inaccessible to "normal" 4x4's. Probably not easy to police for a start i suppose, but personally i would support the idea.

Any thoughts?

About as close as **** is to swearing.

Not that I care, it's a silly argument.

How bout we ban small tyres, highway patterns, AWDs.

Meh

My god what the **** is with you people, I've started a thread to discuss ideas to decrease destruction to the tracks you all use, and thereby ideas to keep them open, and this is what you turn it into?

I don't give a rat's **** if the idea is a bad one, come up with a better one, or the tracks will end up being closed by those that can.

It wasn't even my idea, I stole it!

You lot really need to take a look at yourselves.

The same goes for Gav's thread on posting "hoon" video's, the same idea is behind it,
TO KEEP THE TRACKS OPEN!

You need to read your signature line

P.S. I think its a crap idea, but there is no threats of track closures where I travel Plus I put 35's on everything

When was the last time anyone put something up for disscusion and it did not turn into a debate??
You can't expect any one not to debate over such a question far too many people that have such differences in opinion...

You asked people for their thoughts and that is what you have got

Just take the thick with the thin and don't bite
