4x4 Tyres

Any one wondering about getting a set of Goodyear Wranglers MT/R tyres. I have just ordered an other set as the last ones I had covered over 35000 miles, they are very noisy and aint to bad on the old handling front.

Kaney, can you tell me a bit more about the general grabber AT's. It looks like they are the nearest fit for the 18". My concerns were :

Noise - is there appreciably more noise than with the wranglers?
Cornering in the dry - does she maintain a tight line in corners or is there a touch of lateral drift when hustling ?
Affect on speedo - did you notice any inaccuracy in the speedo readings ?
Affect on vehicles other "temperamental" bits - like suspension ?

My dealer advises that the slightly different size (55 v 60) means the speedo will be about 5% out (not sure if that is up or down) so I guess that will also affect the other readouts on mileage, fuel consumption by the same amount.

You'll be going slower than the read out presumably as the circumference will be smaller so you will travel less for the number of revolutions

Bit of a problem if my home page was BBC North West News.... Sad

I did try a Google search, but couldn't find anyone local.
