    interesting Trav. I'm up for new rubber soon, and was tossing up whether to keep with the BFG's in 255/85, go Big Horn 762's in the same size or jump to a 285/75 and been sussing out the Silverstone (my tyre bloke deals in all three)

    How are 117 sport's overall ? as the 'fender is a daily driver/work vehicle.

    Rick, I have a set of 285/75-16 MTRs which I have run on the 110, and they are awesome on and off road (better than the falken ATs I have). However, I normally run them on the IIA, and am getting a set of bighorns in 255/85-16 for the 110 - when they arrive in Perth. The MTRs have a couple of clearance issues on the 110 on +30mm disco rims.

    thanks Ben.
    I knew you thought pretty highly of your MT/R's.
    I'll probably be a cheap ar$e and get some 255/85 Big Horns, as I'd need to re-rim my centres to fit 285/75's.
