Slob...see post above.

Im not saying you shouldnt buy remoulds...fullstop. Just that unless you need the new tyres urgently, your far better off savin for that extra month or two and gettin the originals rather than remoulds.

thats the point 'you personally think" what you don't take into account with yer thinking is other people circumstances or how they personally think.

I completely agree mate, I definately wouldnt get them again, not even for the price I paid for them. Just out of interest how well do the BFG MTs perform ON road...do they howl much?

kinell! thats all i can say. i now feel like im on 20" wheels with low profile tyres! they are soooo much better on the road than the bronco wonderers

i dont have much exp. with 4x4 tyres as my 90 came with the bronco's. basically 1 delaminated on the severn bridge

and then i drove into a wall and the other one exploded. i was looking at £115 for 2 part worns (+fitting to rims/balance) so i went to sodbury and found my beloved BF's

for £250. got £160 for 2 ****ed broncos and 3 good un's. well i say good uns. they were also about to delaminate. so £90 upgrade all in. grizzlies were 265/75's my Bf's are 31x10.5's so roughly the same size.

my 90 handles better, goes up hills quicker, doesnt vibrate, doesnt wonder. the difference is remarkable. only thing im worried about is their ability offroad. the broncos were amazing. i only have a n/a but i never got stuck anywhere... ok maybe pay and plays. but they went through everything. lets hope the BF's are the same or close.

so glad i made the change, i wouldnt go back.

what do u mean by delaminate? my broncos are shredding fine bits of rubber from around the rim, strands come off a few inches long.

The Mad Hat Man · Nov 4, 2007

thas a pretty good description of delamination

.

yella · Nov 4, 2007

delamination is when the laminate in the make up of the tyre comes apart, hence the "de" at the begining. ffs its like pulling teeth

slob · Nov 4, 2007

wtf is a laminate? is it like "lamb I ate?

i remeber seeing a post a while back where someone with broncos had been goin down the road and the tread had come off from the tyre!

yer i did!

ffs!

as previoulsy egg-splained, i went through a ford, tried to turn left, car carried on straight toward a wall THEN the steering caught up and swung me 90 degrees past where i wanted to be pointing and toward the other wall!

funny thing is, i stopped about a foot before the ACTUAL wall, so i can only assume the tyre egg-sploded on a bit poking out. i didnt hang around to look, the locals were up in arms i tell yer!
