tire question

#1 Post by 96whitedisco » Tue Jul 31, 2007 11:12 am

Is anyone running the new Toyo MTs as I need to get new tires for the Disco and Im thinking of the 265/75/16 MTs, looking for the pros and cons, as most landrovers are running the 235/85/16 BFs Mudders or ATs

Cheers
Andrew

Haven’t seen many Toyo tires on the trail, no doubt they are fine, quality wise etc. I think they are priced higher than the BFG’s etc, which is why we don’t see them much...I guess. 265 is a pretty fat tire it will look good and give you some nice lift...it will defiantly restrict your turning radius. I’m still running the relatively small (when compared to 265’s) 245/75’s but I may move up to the 235/85-16’s. Probably a BFG product if I do.

Thanks Paul my cousin runs a tire store in North Van and Toyo give him a big discount as they are trying to push this tire, my cost is cheaper than the BFs and im already running the 245MTRs
I have already done the front and rear trim to make room for the 265s
If anyone out there needs new tires the BF mudders are around $220 ish a tire for the 265s

Cheers

I have TOYO AT 255.65R16 on my 97 Disco & found the TOYO to be quiter than factory XPC.

I have put about 50k so far.
