Off road tyres

Discussion in 'Mech Tech' started by 7vrn, Oct 21, 2015.

  1. hi all anyone put off road tyres on their bus , fancy doing this and found some nice 205-80-16 tyres which will be perfect as my van is running a golf git engine on standard 3 rib gearbox. Can it be done at standard height or need to be higher education. Thanks all

    They're supposed to be pretty good off road. Some interesting videos on YouTube of it.

    Much, much better than you would think. The weight distribution helps.

  8. Those tyres are 82mm (about 3 1/2") bigger diameter than the stock 185/80/14 so you might run into problems with the tyre hitting the front jacking point or bottom of the arch.
     
  9. 195 / 80 / 15 falcon all terrains on mine , had to shave a bit off the front lip of the outrigger to stop em catching .
