Thread: Just ordered BFG MT's for the Disco

Any chance of a piccy of the mudstars tread pattern. I'm all googled out.

oo ooo ooo and the boggers while your at it since I'm to lazy or dumb to do it

I think this is what you want

On the subject of tyres, I currently have some BFG tyres on the front of my Disco - I can't remember the exact type but they are a fairly meaty tread AT type.

However, on the back I have a pair of Wranglers with plenty of tread left.

I was planning on taking the Wranglers off and replacing them with some new BFGs to match the front.

I am guessing this is worth doing. Any comments?

G'day Diff

I'm running 245/75R/16 at the moment
had to take out quite a bit of the Gards becaue of the off roading that I normally do with the guys from Club , was fine with the original Alloys 16/7's but they're way too Soft , bent 2 Alloys on same trip and ended up with 2 flatties , I have since gone with kings Steel rims but without doing my home work properly , 2 inch OME springs , the king Steel Rims are distroying my car and in effect it's dotroying the Types , i have taken as much as I can off the rear guards , the Off set is too far out , I thing this is illegall , I have no flares eiter , I'll sent some picks if you like. 245/75R/16 is not a Good choice with the new Rims but I have no choice as they are a carry over from the early Alloy days.

the maxxis mudders 245/75/16, trimmed the rear corners as directed, took the springs out and checked that all was ok, test it on a trip still good, then bent the crap out of the quarters at cape york. Looks like it depends on how much flex and side angle you get.

Another guy I know has doen 100 000km on 235/85/16 on a D1 with out cutting anything and hasn't had a problem. He does have classic steel rims though and doesn't drive where I do.

the 245/75/16 puts the speedo spot on so the 235 will take it up a tad.
The Cooper 235/85/16 I have been told measure nearly 33' so not all tyres on the same lable are equal.

You know you will love them![/QUOTE]

Actually thats quite possable, all it takes is a suspension bush to be shot and your rear alignment can be out by up to 5mm, this will make the vehicle crab and feather the tyres out, ususally the trailing tyre more than the lead.

Ummm, ok thats just stupid....... hope you billed them for new tierod ends, rubber, bearing check etc etc
