Can't remember the name of the place I normally post up, think it's Longstone tyres.
One of the dudes on here has rubbery contacts (he works at a tyre place, he isn't a gimp!!)......

Phil you have PM Very Happy Is it for the buggy mate? Are you after something chunky and off road looking or a bit more quiet and road friendly?!

I'll do my best to find you something suitable, PM me all the details as I'm not on here too often, still looking for a new air cooled, but if I get a PM it alerts me in my email account so I wont miss what you've replied!!!

I can only take loose wheels in my own time these days to keep the boss off my back but it will be cheaper than if you came in off the street for sure Wink

Cheers Gaz Very Happy

Rick - you promised you wouldn't mention those rubbery needs affraid

Right the front is a car only size, you'd have to go up to at least 195/80/15 to get anything chunky looking, I've done a bit of scouting at stuff we can get hold of, I'd recommend
Kumho KL71's, do a search for an image, they are an off road style and a midrange make, sizes available are

195/8015 for your fronts,
235/75/15 for the backs, scratch that... 31x10.50R15LT

are there any clearance issues at the front regarding running a larger tyre?

Ive PM'd you about prices etc,

Hope this helps, cheers Gaz
