Bigger tyres
What size tyres can you fit under the wheel arches before thing start rubbing, i want to fit offroad tyres maybe simex? :lol:
Ive got 34in simexs on mine but have lifted springs 40mm. They only rub on the outriggers on full lock and full articluation. There is a an exact copy remould of simex now and a 1/3 of the cost, I think bronco do them. But having used BFG muds not convinced Simex are the be all and end all. BFG muds are a good all rounder and give acres of milage.
How does the 280 auto cope with 34 inch tyres, driveabilty on and offroad?
Do you need to lower the gearing or does it manage?
Thanks
Richard
With the 34" simexs and the 33" BFG it only hit outriggers on full lock and full travel but same goes for landies. I have raised springs 40mm which is enough. Simexs are fun on the road in the wet,NOT :shock: . Having used BFG muds and simex I fail to see the difference in off-road performance. Simex are good in hard rocky ground but hit the soft stuff and you dig your self in. On the road both pose a problem pulling away but you getr used to it.
