Got the new tyres fitted just before xmas - just thought I'd put up some pics 8)

Have gone from the stock 235/60-16 (27") to 225/75-16 (29") This has given us an extra 28mm in lift too 8)
They fit almost perfectly with the 30mm lift (coil spacers) although there is a small amount of rubbing at the back at full compression - should be able to 'adjust' the inner guards with a mallet though :wink:

On road it has killed a little of the response - you notice it mainly at open road speeds - 100k on the speedo is now 108k, so it drops the revs a bit - only really a problem when we have the roof tent on though

Anyway - a couple of pics:

Hope this helps someone who is looking for a bit of extra lift 8)

Yeah - got the Cooper ATR's - they are a light Truck construction so hopefully a bit tougher..... off to Straddie at the end of the month so will get to try them out on the sand....looking forward to getting back to landcruiser park :twisted:

How are your struts?? , are they topping out off road, i have not put the spacers in the front of mine and i gave my strut spacers to a freind so i will have to get more in.

Struts seem to be ok - the back is worse than the front for topping out - need new shocks now - any cheap options which bolt in but have that extra 30mm of length?

What are the strut spacers worth? may be interested to get that bit of extra flex.....

Hmmm... i am now wondering if i get these Kumho AT's in a 235/70/16, that they are gonna scrap on my GV with standard suspension -

I only have 235/60/16 normal road tyres on at the moment, and i was just about to get the AT's fitted this week, but now i am not sure, does anyone know if they will go on without scrapping ? :roll: :?

What are the differences in diameter in mm, from a 60 profile tyre, to a 70 and 75 ? :wink: :lol:
