Tyres Question - TD5 Defender

**mike_beecham** · 4th February 2009, 06:08 PM

G'day Guys,

I need to buy some tyres.
Looking at Silverstone MT117 Sport 285/75R16s.

1. Will they fit on the Boost alloys?
2. Will they rub on radius arms (l think they will at full lock)?
4. I assume they will fit with no lift (standard factory setup)
3. Thoughts on these tyres?

Ta,

Mike

4. I assume they will fit with no lift (standard factory setup) YES, will rub the rear top spring seats during cornering.
3. Thoughts on these tyres? F'n brilliant, im on my 2nd set, the first had 50thou on them now on the trailer.

Thanks Phil for your speedy reply!

How much body lift do l need to avoid the rear tyres hitting the spring seats??

Is the radius arm rub enough to be an issue? Worth adjusting the stops?
