OFFROAD TYRES? SOME1 HELP :)

hi all need some off road tyres which will look chunky but also not to bad on the road drive wise/ feel wise. been looking at the grizzly claws but anyone else know any more tyres would like them brand new maximum price £400.00 cheers p.s they are going on 16 inch zu rims

What about the good old BFG Muds?, reasonable tre in in the mud, more then usefull on the road. Lasts pretty long doing only tarmac

yer checked them out bit pricey probably looking for something bit more chunky cheers anyways

i myself buy them in used state, for about 200 pounds i get great tyres with little wear. use 255x85x16, car has 2"lift

yer i got 2inch lift aswell any chance you could send us a picture of your landy see how chunky the tyres look thanks

I have been very pleased with my Insa Turbo Saharas, a good compromise between mud and road and look good. Being remoulds they are quite cheap, only drawback they usually come from Paddocks and I have just vowed never to buy anything from them ever again. Perhaps someone else sells them?

Any pictures of my car ( see avatar) can be found here:

In remoulds you could also look for Fedima

keith, them tyres look perfect you can get them from mm4x4 looks a great company not to expensive either will prob go for them cheers

great pics went through everyone lol i dont know what to do know both the tyres look rather chunky

dont buy from paddocks!
anything, it will break when your not using it

what about the kuhmo kl71's i run a set and sometimes find my self chasing round europe after parties and they stick to the road really well and stick to valdisaire evenbetter, although in mud they arnt amazing,
insa turbo special tracks are the best off road and if your looking for chunky you wont get much more than them,
grizzley claws are dangerous on the road

thanks Chris

Thats ok cardan and cheers kieran i have took note and will have a good read up about the bfg the insas and turbos tomorrow and i want use paddocks they are sh*t i know, ordered new shocks only one came with the washers needed
(What a Joke) ALSO WOULD LIKE TO KNOW WHERE IS THE LANDY RALLY STARTING THIS YEAR SO FAR IT LOOKS GOOD NEWS FOR US TAKEN PART IM CURRENTLY WAITING ON MY DAD GETTING A BIG BUILDING JOB SO ALL SHOULD WORK OUT

I bought some rear worklights from them at a show which seem to be fine, but I've fitted some of their flashy lights to vehicles in the past, and they've failed within days.
They do have some nice products, but also some cheap gimmicky tat.

lol i know what u mean found another company on ebay r&c4x4 they look quite good, i would have got all my stuff from scorpian racing it was only 10 minutes away from where i live but i dont know whats happened to them

Wayne, Landy Rally 2010 Event Manger, recently bought a set of Insa Turbos - good value, good on and off-road.

Personally, when the time comes I will go for another set of 255/65x16 Amazon Technic's. They were fitted to my green Rangie (the one that Dean now has) and they were excellent. On-road even in the wet they stuck like *hit to a blanket - amazing for such an open tread - off-road they were ace, and boy do they look agressive!!!

Just Googled "Amazon Technic" and I see that MM4x4 stock them. Don't know how much though, didn't explore that far.

I also see that 4x4Tyres.com stock them (this being Formula4's online store for wheels and tyres):

See http://www.formula4.co.uk/265_75_16_kingpin_technic_mud_terrain_tyres_off_road_205_16_750.html for a pretty photo.

Cheap too, only £55.66 each + VAT (free carriage). This company also has a very good reputation. They are a big company and are wheels & tyres specialists selling thousands per year.

I agree, I wouldn't go for Grizzly Claws either.

Good luck!

cheers tom ill have a look tonight school now i should also know about college dates tonight thanks

yeah i was worried about the dates of my course starting the same date as the rally, so i emailed them with exacly what i was doing and who the charity was, i got the reply simply saying, ok this is fine just let us know when you arrive here, i did and they were fine,
for things like landy raally peple genrally seem to understand
as for bolt on bits i brought their off-road super bright headlights and within a week filled them with mud and water and one seemed to break, so when i saw them at a show i askd if i could have a replacement one and even if i paid for it they wouldnt sell one

i guess you could say its my fault

cheers kieran

"Not for use on-road" doesn't mean "For use off-road"

Companies not wanting to sell their products to The Johnson family seems to be a recurring theme on this forum.
