Hi all, I bought a set of 15 x 8 sunnies a while back and am looking to get some muddies. Is a 30x9.5/15 gonna be too narrow for the rim (or too wide.. I don't know what the hell I'm talking about). I've currently got tyres that size on some shitty old rims running 4.9 transfer gears and I'm happy with the size but I will consider 31x10.5 if that's the consensus on here.... Any help would (as always) be appreciated cheers guys |

They will go on. But it will be easier to push dirt/mud/sticks into the bead when offroad, compared to a 30x9.5 on a 7" rim. |

I've run this setup previously. Never had any dramas with beadloss at 8-10psi. |

hmmm.... ok actually, I'm having one of those "ahh fuck it" moments.... I think I'll grab 31's. Now before anyone says use the search tool... I have!!! Ok so if it's not too much trouble, I would like a bit of advise on the tyres. I don't really care what it costs, I just want the right tyres for my use. I drive a bit of everything really but primarily bush tracks and the occasional beach trip. Buckshots? Bighorns? KM's? KM2's? Baja Claws? |

KM2's are probably the dearest option, but from what I have seen, they are a great all rounder, with rock being their weak point ( still perform quite well though) Forget the claws for up here. Goodyear wrangler MTR kevlars are a great beach and bush tyre. They clog a little faster than the KM's and buckshots in the mud, but perform well everywhere else. |

Just got off the phone with the local tyre shop and was given the following prices. 31/10.5/15 Bighorns $240 but none available KM2's $350 Wrangler MTR Kevlars $389 Does anyone know where would be a good place to buy tyres from? I like the sound (and if I'm honest the look  ) of the wranglers but $389 is getting up there.....

Called fourby's and got the following prices for 31/10.5/15 Mickey Thompson MTZ $307 Cooper STT $320 ST $270 Maxxis Bighorn $225 Goodyear Wrangler MTR Kevlar $379 BFG KM2 $357 It's really hard to get past the price of the Bighorns considering that 5 of em are cheaper than 4 of the Kevlars... |

Try big tyre group at lawnton. Also I highly recommend federal couragia MT's. You should be able to get them for under $200 a tyre and you won't be disappointed in their performance. |

STT's on my 80 series - brilliant and will buy again Bighorns on my Sierra - love em, & will buy again Bighorns seem noisier, but the luxo 80 compared to the ruff zook may be the thing. |

Well it looks like I'll be going down the KM2 path unless anyone has a better idea. I've found 31/10.5/15's for $342 fitted and balanced at Ace Tyres Tingalpa. I'm gonna paint the rims first but hopefully I'll be rolling new tyres next weekend!!! |
