All terrain tyres

  1. I really want bf goodrich all terrain tyres on my bus but unless i import from america there not available in 14 inch fitment

    There are certain 15 inch mercedes steels that will fit the bus then i could source 15 inch bf goodrich all terrains

    Id rather not go an inch larger though as this will alter the gearing and cooling plus make it worse on the small country tracks and steep inclines where lower gearing is more appropriate

    Does anyone know of a good all terrain tyre thats not a remould available in standard bus size and specification?

    Im pretty sure the answer is going to be get your self to the breakers for a set of 15 inch steels but i thought id ask just incase someones found a gem

  8. Para, did you get anywhere looking for AT tyres for the standard rims? I would also like an AT type tyre if possible, but they seem hard to find.
     
  9. I havent owen apart from importing them from america

    Its looking like im going to have to go up to 15 inch wheels

  11. The tires (tyres) that i put on Willow are pretty aggressive & are 14'
    front are 205X75X14's rear are 27X8.5X14's, the bus raised up less than 1/4 of an inch,

     
  12. Do syncros run 14 inch rims?

    I think they had 14 or 16 depending on model syncro
     
  15. Real off road tires will make a lot of noise on tarmac, and American tires are generally much lower quality (strange, as most things are better made there)

    I do a lot of mixed terrain driving which includes quite a bit of offroad, or as much as these buses can take, and maybe a little more. I use Verdestein snowtrac winter tires all year round. never failed me... water, mud, sand, gravel, i always pull out where others don't.
