a car with huge tyres will not make ruts any deeper than a car with small tyres, assuming the ground is good, as is the majority of lanes.

ok you might come across a boggy area when laning, but if we're being pedantic you shouldnt drive it anyway!

the problem with laning and aggressive tyres is that spinning it up nmakes a big mess, whereas road tyres just spin.

i went laning recently with a 90 on stock size bfg muds, a 110 with 33x12.5 muds, a disco on stock size insas, a 90 on 285/75 inss and mine on 33x12.5 muds

not one of use make any different track to the other, because we didnt need to spin it up at all, as we werent getting stuck.

its daft to say that you shouldnt go abobe stock size on lanes becuase the majority of the bad ruts are made by tractors, which have huge tyres as we all know.

tbh an aggressive tyre would probably cause less trouble driving through crefully than the same car on stock tyres trying its best to get through the same section guns blazing.

the loud pedal ****s up green lanes, not your tyre choice.

cheers :)

I gotta agree with you. I'll often go through muddy places on tickover and my tyre pattern is clearly imprinted in the mud. A vehicle on road tyres or A/T's will often not leave any prints but will leave ruts/churn up the mud instead. I find my aggressive tyres are often LESS damaging than less aggressive tyres. You also have to remember that most A/T tyres will not offer the same lateral grip as more aggresive tyres.
 
just because I quoted you didn't mean I was singling you out individually and I'm sorry if you thought it was an attack on you and your choice of tyres I was being very general

Ok no harm done, I'm still keeping my insa special tracks on my series though! lol
 
I found that I kept grounding out because the ruts were too deep,most people have tall tyres nowadays so you get stuck up on your diff if you've got the standard disco tyre size.
So, my advice would be a 2" lift and some 265/75/16 tyres( you won't get the tyres on without a lift) and this is what you get

sorry but gotta disagree there, i ran my disco on 265/75s with no lift a camel cut and front bumper end cap trimming and suffered no problems. Chose not to lift originally for potential probs and cost.

using original alloys helped as the offset steels can sometimes rub on articulation but only problem i had was slightly reduced steering lock.

some of the stuff it used to do (green r reg in the vid)

What a b#stard I got told you can't get them on so that's why I give it a lift! :doh: Oh well it's done now just don't tell the mrs I spent £200 for nowt :boom:
