Rocky.

265/75/16 will fit and is only slightly bigger than the 275/70. The General AT2 I've heard is pretty good as are the Falken. Also look at Kumho, Cooper, Goodyear and BFG

hi

many thanks Very Happy

i'm torn between the falken and the general grabber at2(the price is right)

Make sure you check the speed ratings on each make as there is a large variation available even on two tyres of the same make and size (the price will show a difference). You could void your insurance if the tyres are not suitably rated Rolling Eyes

I'm just looking at tyres again myself... never ending Evil or Very Mad

How are your Falken A/T's doing? Either general grabber or falkens im after, falkens have same sort of pattern as the legendary BFG trac edge so im swaying towards these at the moment

Cheers,
Iain

Have the G Grabbers on my 80 24v , I'm more than happy , good for off road and very good on road , stable , roll well when at 38 - 40 psi , with them fitted the speedo is now only 1-2 mph out so be careful with those cameras. I drove to carlisle and back and got 29 mpg so reckon for an all terain they are very good.

What size grabbers are you running?

265/75/16 's , I didn't want to gear it up anymore as 1st gear is quite high when pulling away with 4 tons on the back ( yes I know Wink

........ ) , they are a good compromise as they will still cut down through mud to find traction when wider tyres can spin on the top , but also are good enough at low pressures to float over the boggy stuff .
We recently took my disabled farther inlaw 5 miles either way over some private fells in near Carlisle through some fairley rough terrain with some boggy bits .... a trip that in anything other than the 80 and with decent tyres I would never have attempted without another vehicle being in support .
I rate the tyres on and off road
