| recommended wheel and tyres |
|
HI GUYS BEEN REGISTERED FOR YEARS BUT NEVER ACTUALLY DONE ANYTHING WITH MY DISCO, I SORT OF WENT OFF ON A TANGENT AND GOT A DEFENDER. I HAVE BEEN OUT ON A FEW TRIPS NOW AND NOTICED MORE AND MORE DISCOS.
MINE IS NOT WORTH WHAT I PAYED FOR IT, IT HAS 52000 KM ON THE CLOCK AND IS A DECEMBER 2006 HSE.
I WANT TO START USING IT FOR OFFROAD TRIPS AND WANT TO KNOW WHAT WHEELS AND TYRES I NEED TO GO FOR I CURRENTLY HAVE ROAD TYRES ON 18 INCH RIMS. SHOULD I DROP TO A SMALLER RIM.......... I DO A LOT OF ROCKY TRACK DRIVING AS I LIVE IN SOUTH SPAIN.
ANY HELP PLEASE AND RECOMEDATIONS.
ALL THE BEST

rocky drivin: Pirelli ATR in 19" size or MickeyThomson STZ 265/60R18 or Coopers LTZ 285/60R18 (those can rub a bit in extreme situations)
really plenty to choose from unless you wanna wait for new MT/R tyre I would find something for existing alloys
for ref check 4x4tyres.co.uk
cheers

if you want have lots of rubber you'd need to go for over sized ones like BFGs 265/65/R18 thay are 31.5 inches in diameter very hard wearing very hard core but might be rubbing a bit IMHO

its not that i want losts of rubber, rather im guessing for offroad use its going to give me less problems. i have been looking at goodyear mtr tyres for my 18 inch rims i am currently running 255/60/18 according to law here i have to have an h rated tyre and those dimensions, the only one that does fit the bill is the at pattern goodyear. does anyone here have any experience with such tyre.
