Need bigger tyres

evening everyone!

i went down to my local p&p today at matchams. cracking day out, loads of mud, water and general chaos going on. However i have come to the conclusion that i need bigger tyres, ive already got the VL to allow the flex so maybe some 31's?

basically, going after the land rover guys running 35's (or about that) my little tyres got me bogged down. Both diffs and the fuel tank ground out and i had to be winched out. twas my own fault really, i tried to stay on top of the ruts but slipped in and ground out.

Is anyone aware of either a second hand set going or any good deals going on a new set?

cheers

I'm on 31s now and I didn't get stuck at all today :)

I'm on a 2.5-3" lift with no VL

Looks like you need to update your signature now Dan.

Signature is well out of date anyway!

The old tyres were shotgunned by Scotties dad Steve.

Need to see what happens. There are a few people asking me about them!

Oh and the verdict on the tyres is....

* Tyres good
* Arches too small
* Very little rubbing

More testing required.
