I just can confirm what was said : deflate spare tyre in order to put it back in its space, slight rubbing when full turn, great tyres in general for dry areas (not the best for wet mud),...
You can see so pictures of my BFG AT 265/70-17 and black alloy rims in my gallery.

With the AT2 on a 265/70 17 there definately is, the air needs to be let out to allow it to be winched up Wink


Why not fit a spare wheel carrier?

Any problem with getting the spare to fit underneath the vehicle with the 265/70/17?


Hi. I'm running 275/65/18 STT's. I had the suspension raised using the diagnostics unit, you can change the off-set heights and in doing so raise the height of the vehicle. My vehicle is raised about 30-40mm and never touches as a result. Only if I run through a dip at speed do I get it to touch slightly at the rear (suspension bottoms).

I run 18" Cooper STT's with shortened rods and previously Kuhmo KL71 with 4cm Coil lift.

Both are great but the Kuhmos are quieter onroad.

Adjustable Rods replace the Plastic and Rubber part of the height sensor Land Rover supply on the car.

Rods have two settings; standard and off road. With the vehicle set to normal driving height the shortened rods will give you off road height.

Of course, if you select Off Road Height the vehicle will be in the ‘super extended’ position as standard if you use the ‘Shortened’ settings.

Benefits:

• Increased off road height when you require it.
• 2 settings, normal or off road.
• No tools required to install.
• No tools required to change positions.
• Standard driving height when required for on road

No not on a coiler but my post was about two of my cars ....

1. A Coiler with Kuhmo KL71
2. A Standard Air Suspended car with Cooper Discoverer STT's.
