maxxis creepy crawlers, 35.12.50r15

What modding did you have to do to get them big boys to fit?

Also has affected your turning circle any?

Absolutely fantastic, what a difference!!!!

Looking good plenty of grip with them they would be good for the river crossing at Eriboll I think you would float across

Nope hasnt affected the turning at all, their on a ten inch rim so the offset is huge, ive got a two inch lift, though ive got too drop the rear shocks two inchs and then maybe fit inch spacers aswell and cranked trailing arms one day, they are amazing just been out for a test and boy they grip, though ive got too let the pressures down as there rock hard. i would come to eriboll but: - no MOT, nor arches wide enough or a snorkel and the tracking is awfull, lol. cheers

Looking good mate is that 15x10 wheels and what size of tyres have you got on them ? i am fitting 15x10" wheels with 33x12.5x15 tyres on to the disco.
Also what make of tyres are they and were they expensive ?

You just looked at the pretty pictures didn't you!!

Are you going to get them beadlocked? or run as is?

Yes just looked at the piccys caught again

I will get the beadlocked at some point but its all money at the moment just means that i wont be able to run them at low pressure going to order the wheels this week.

no i wont be geting them beadlocked for now anyway, ive aired mine down to 20 psi and there still hard as hell, What tyres are you buying Steve? 33" on the disco wow that would be good, youle have to get extended wheel arches and a lot work with the grinder, ive seen some that are on icelandic snow landys that look real wide and strong, just have to find some? any body no?
the tyres were second hand but you wouldnt no done bout 2500 miles he said but the bobbles have just worn off, picked them up in manchester the weekend, thanks to ROZ for the info on them. cheers

Was thinking about these




The Kumho Road Venture MT KL71 was the joint winner of 4x4 Magazine's 'ultimate tyre test' to establish the best mud‑terrain tyre on the UK market. It shared top honours with a BFGoodrich, beating offerings from Goodyear, Wildcat, Maxxis, Cooper, INSA and Pirelli by a significant margin.

All eight makes of 235/85 R16 tyres were subjected to six challenging, real‑world tests, ie ‑ mud climb, bog run, side slope, rock crawl, gravel and tarmac braking. One vehicle was involved - a 2007 Land Rover Defender 110.

The magazine found the Kumho KL71 radically different in appearance from all its competitors and, in fact, to be the best looking as well as the joint best performer. The Kumho was awarded top marks on the rock crawl and gravel braking tests and performed with credit on the mud climb and bog run.

In summary, the magazine said, "The Kumho MT KL71 is a great tyre and a deserving all‑round winner. Give it a try."

Said Kumho's Managing Director Steve Tidmarsh, "We are naturally delighted with the result. 4x4 Magazine's test is very much in line with our own research and reinforces the confidence we have had in the KL71 from the outset. I can also reveal that the new 18in rally raid tyre we have developed for the Bowler Nemesis is based on the KL71 and that is surely the ultimate test for an MT tyre."

They are also a very good price.

well you cant complain at that, last time brahan was on alot the lads there were runing them as you wouldve seen, and they seemed to be doing well, though im not sure if id trust kumhos managing director? ... hes called steve ....

I wouldint trust anyone called Steve either

I was looking at the tyres on paddocks and for 33"x12.5"x15 they are £81 + vat i have found them cheaper on other sites but you get free postage on paddocks if you spend over fifty squid.

just need wheel arches now!!

how about the ones on the qt services website? the 6.5 inch wide ones? they do look good, expensive tho. http://www.qtservices.co.uk/region.asp?id=331 ive dealt with mm4x4 before and not that impressed. but cheers anyway Ross,

I changed it to the direct link hope you dont mind mate

not atall, as i cant do it

just copy and paste the url on the page you are looking at buddy.

hi all, found out some info on the qt items and alot of feedback saying there not so good, bad for sagging, though the new ones from north offroad seem to have a following and at apparent £135 for delivery its not too bad. there not advertised on there website yet, but some magazines have them with there advert, cheers

Hi when are we going to see a photo with all the new tyres on

nearly there now, just finished the wheel arches this weekend, got some conveyor belting for free and cut strips out of the best of it, it took nearly 3 whole days to mark, drill and bolt on. when its not raining or dark ile try and get a photo together soon, cheers,

We can expect pictures around May 2010 then lol!

Get in there

Well its not raining today and the sun even made a short appearence. here goes, front typically LR stiff, needing to think about that, backs okish but stll not enough for me, possibly shock drop mounts but what goes down wont go up as much, so maybe a gwyn lewis rear higher shock mounts and plus 5.5 shocks.
