Ha ha that's not helping!

Think FK is on 285/75/16 Fedima but maybe ask

They stand taller than mine cos most Fedima are oversize

Co-Pang-Yang · Oct 28, 2013

Oh god this is just making my decision even harder to make!

285/75 Fedima or Insa's or 33x12.5's

Mr Noisy · Oct 28, 2013

33x12.5x15 malatesta kaiman

Job done

DROOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL!!!

I've got 235 85 Malatesta Kaimans on .. feckin' ace! Couldn't be bothered to take the time to sort out fitting larger tyres .. but I would thoroughly recommend them.

Mr Noisy · Oct 28, 2013

Are they new or remould casings paul??

Paul D · Oct 28, 2013

Remoulds. Look identical to Fedima moulds with the side lugs .. but half the price ish ..

Paulmitchell1984 · Oct 28, 2013

I had the malakatesas on mine but 31" very rarely gtot stuck apart from grounding out, self cleaning is amazing on them noisy on road and twitchy above 60mph

Co-Pang-Yang · Oct 28, 2013

Oh for goodness sake this is getting worse! I need to buy new tyres this week!!!!!

Co-Pang-Yang · Oct 29, 2013

Right well gonna orders some tyres at lunch today to make sure I get them in time for the weekend.
Still can't decide between the 285's or 33's. First being better in mud and second having wider track for improved road handling and make the truck look awesome lol.
Ah well, see what tyres-direct have to say on the subject.

Mr Noisy · Oct 29, 2013

33x12.5

At least you look cool when you're stuck, that's the most important thing

In that criteria maybe he'd maybe be better looking at 35's, or even 37's then.

Not that I want to make his choice harder, you understand ..

Co-Pang-Yang · Oct 29, 2013

Lol bugger off, 33's max!

I agree for laning etc. Mine are about 32 ish, 235 x 85 R16's, but I must admit if I had the time and werewithall to do it I'd get 35's .. 2" can be bigger than it appears to be ..

Co-Pang-Yang · Oct 29, 2013

I also want good articulation and I think 35's will restrict that too much. Same thing that worries me about 33x12.5's.
Need mr. noisey to put up a nice axle twist shot lol

Co-Pang-Yang · Oct 29, 2013

Any know about the KL71's? Seem to be well priced

Hence why I didn't go bigger ..

I didn't really want a body lift, I'm a right feckin' shortarse, and I didn't have time to work the arches to fit larger tyres stuffing, or re-arrange the suspension elements. These tyres on mine don't touch the wheel wells, but I did have to cut the front bumper ends and rear bodywork, but that's easy ..

It's all a compromise somewhere, working the happy bit in the middle somewhere is a real art!

Co-Pang-Yang · Oct 29, 2013

Yer I think your right. Just spoken to tyres-direct and they recommended the Fedima's in 285 format. £845 delivered for 5 on -35 offset modulars. Worked out to only be an inch thinner than the 33's and a lot cheaper.

Think that's what I'm gonna go for, gonna be better for the new suspension. Good groud clearance and maximum artulation.
