And AK, thanks for the compliment and the reasons I am stressing over what is going on with the thread is that I searched and searched for information on tyres before I bought the ones I have and all there is is "your opinion is wrong because its not the same as mine" arguements over and over again with very little tech content which is usefull.
At least if we had a thread we could look back on and see what people are running and what they think of them then it gives a base line regardless of if they are skinny or fat.
It's gone to the crapper now anyway (not so much the info but for what I had in mind), got some good replies along the lines I was after before the opinions started so I guess your right, it was successful to some extent.
They'll be there, can pick up McRovers steering gaurd to:eek:Quote:

Next set will be 235/85 in probably an MT pattern. I think it's a sensible size for a Disco without all the trade-offs of going too big.
Now to take it off track again :twisted:
Something else to consider is that at the end of the day a tyre is a pressure vessel.
Now hypothetically, if you had 2 tyres similarly constructed (8PR for eg), the size of the tyre is generally what governs it's load capacity due to the volume of air it can hold. So, the "fat" tyre will generally still happily carry a greater nominal load at a given pressure than the "skinny" tyre. For the same reason the "fat" tyre will not respond to a given pressure the same way as the "skinny". The bigger the tyre, the lower the pressure needed in any situation.
In heavy industrial situations, tyres are rated for a given load at a given pressure and a given speed, right thru to max load at max inflation at 0km/h.
This info is not as readily available for cars, but the same principles apply.
