Hoping for a bit of help on this one guys.

As my disco has a 2" bodylift I want to fit 33" tyres for a bit of extra ground clearance but I'm struggling with choosing the right tyres.

Insa turbo special track are top of the list as a great aggressive off road tyre that I can use on the road.
Two options are 33.12.5/15 on 10x15 modulars or 285/75/16's on 8x16 modulars.

Would prefer the 15's but wondering if anyone has any suggestions on where to get the older style 109 tread pattern with a large side lugs as everywhere seems to be offering the new style with small lugs.

Any help or other tyre suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Cheers Chris.

I see you've bought some Fedimas. How are you finding them, are you able to compare them directly off road with other aggressive tread patterns? I've been looking at these tyres as a potential purchase.

That said, I've always been very happy with my 33.11.50 Simex's. Just a shame they are silly silly money to replace.


BTW - you don't need a lift to fit 33's on ;)

 
Jungle Trekkers are the bees knees but like you say, dear.

At least if you need to buy a new car you could sell your tyres to pay for it! :rolleyes:

My new 910's are in a word awesome! :D
Really performed well at the off road day only getting stuck once. Even then I was close to tipping over in a ditch and pretty sure the super aggressive tyres wouldn't have helped much in that situation.
What are yours like for scrubbing? Mine was catching a little bit at the back when articulating.
 
Been reading this and confused............. why not just get them balanced with wheel weights on a balancing machine?
 
the weights are only clipped in so I presume in gloopy mud they just get pulled right off


could always epoxy them on though that'd probably work
 
I balanced mine myself and tightened the clips before fitting, they came off.

Then did it again and siliconed over them to make it smooth, came off.

Not surprisingly tbh seeing as dints and curls in the rim edge are not uncommon.

Dynabeads have been awesome.
 
I took some tigerseal to the tyre fitting place and put some behind each weight as they fitted them, no issues yet :)

Cool. Sound like they might be worth considering.

Never had an issue with rubbing, but I hacked 6" or so off the rear arches and mines a 3 door, so doesn't have the same wheel well at the back. They did lightly brush the front flares under flex and lock, but I trimmed the trailing edge of the flares to prevent this mostly.
 
Hoping to get mine balanced tonight if my mate is still at his garage. Will report back with how that goes.

Mate is selling his 3 door which is tempting me, should really stick with what I'd got though lol
 
much more clearance in the tubs of a 3 door.

well, no, its not the tubs its the doors that can only be cut away so far that is the problem!
 
Drove mine upto 70mph last night and no hint of vibration so will just see how they go after a few days out and take it from there :)
