Hi & welcome!!
I could highly recomend the Insa Turbo Traction Track available from Spondon tyres in Derby I got 265 / 75/ 16's for £260. They stand 32" when fitted! I'm in redcar and It's not too far to call and pick some up as I work in Essex through the week, but courier may be cheaper! Regards Steve |

the tyres i have on are 215 80 15 and there looks like a load of room

80% of 215 = 172mm so your current tyre combination should stand (2 x 172mm) + 15" high. so thats 342mm + 15" = 14.65" + 15" = 29.65" does your tape measure agree with that? Do remember that theres quite a lot of suspension movement on these plus you have to allow for steering as well so that space isn't there for nothing... |
so say if i went for 235 75 15 that would be ok or could i go bigger :D. thinking of lifting the susension soon just lookin at the moment tho thanks

Hi.
My Terrano had 235/75/15 fitted as standard. I have just fitted 31x10.50 R15 General Grabber AT2's all round.:thumb2 Fills the arches nicely, I had to trim a small bit off the inside of the front mud flaps and a slither off the bottom of the front bumper to clear on lock. None of this is visible when looking at the car. See my thread 31x9.5 R15 or 31x10.50 R15 for pictures. Cheers Steve. |
Seen a standard 92 Maverick running 235 x 70 x 15's standard road tyres and looked like room wasn't a problem but then didn't look too close. 16 inch rims on mine running 245 x 70 x 16 Cooper Discoverer M & S and there looks to be plenty of room to go up a size or two but mine is a 00 T2 LWB.

Road noise of the tyres - yes you can definatley hear them - but scince i fitted the roof rack that drowns out the sound of the tyres, the sound of the engine ....and most conversation come to that!! But really, I dont think there too bad compared to how well they grip on anything but greased sheet ice. Regards Steve |
