    What are the biggest best looking tyres.........

    Now that I've got your attention, are 14-ply bias belted tyres harder to fit by hand on to standard L/R rims (272309) than 8-ply . I've got no trouble fitting the 8-plys. Thank you.W.

    14 ply bias? Dont you like the fillings in your teeth? or just dont like your spine at all? 14p will be rough as on a lightish vehicle like a landrover. I had 10s on the defender and they were like solids!
    But to answer your original Q ,no, they should be no harder to fit than 8's. It is the tread and wall that has the plys, the bead does not alter much.
    Cheers Scott

    Actually, I think you will - when fitting you have to flex the sidewalls, and these will be significantly stiffer.

    Thank you for your replies. Just after I posted my question I found this site.

    For me ,in this kind of country getting there at all is more important than getting there in comfort. .W.
