which 35 are you running? on previous landrovers i have run 36" simex on 8j rims, as you say a balance of height width etc and tyre pressure.
-
They look good . I see they are the extreme treps
-
thanks all for the help in solving my tyre dilemia , i think i will source another set of boost alloys and then i can have a final decision on the 255 or the crazy treps. As said the Toyo would be a good around tyre as BFG prices have gone through the roof. i am learning towards the 255 i must say
-
the radial version of the Trep was what i was looking at , it has a higher speed rating and as you say less agressive. i had ran a 1.2 t case for a while but i have a 1.4 back in now and i want the higher gear if possible, my 285 75 R16 BFG measure 31 on the landy. tyre calculator say they shold be 32.8" . so i figured 35s would be about 33 on the landy. 255 85 do look like a good option as i didnt want to go to wide. these state 33.1" on teh tyre calculator
-
i guess i want it all, traction a true 34/35 inch on a 16" rim and i want them to be quiet lol. i have had 2 sets before but even with pwer tools its always a faff to change them around and they do look good on muds. Retroanaconda do you run 255 ? if so can you measure them if you get a minute?
-
thank you for the responses, this is the first defender that i have actually put some sound proofing in as it get used for towing, a few trip to work and mainly greenlaning. I should stick with what i have but running 285 75 r 16 they measure at 31 when on the car so being a 110 i get caught up on ruts etc. also i a bit higher gearing would be nice as the td5 putting nearly 200bhp out so runs out of gears quickly
-
i am looking at changing my BFG muds to some MAXXIS TREPs 35.12.50 R16 the radial version. anyone running these on the road, can they advise on noise levels etc please.

Hi all not been on a while but I ha e a d2 V8 53 plate. It has broken the bottom pull oil pump so that has been replaced and timed up. I've not removed the heads yet but it's not running , I have fuel and a spark but compression is low. Do these engines bend the valves as I am now thinking that's what's wrong

i saw a system where you disengage drive to engage the pto. maybe just that type of PTO system but I presume they were all like it, hence my post -

i didnt like PTO either as no drive assit, hydra pulls all day same speed not fast to start and slow as the batts drain etc -

got fed up with replacing batts , motors alternators.. but i think its safe to say its the drive system and pump that makes a hydra setup a bit the same for electric winches -

Redwinch hydra on the right . i would only go back to electric for non competitive offroading. I run a 2 speed Warrior red winch, you dont need the warranty as it wont break simples :-) id also run the single terror. i was lucky to get the extended drum for the warrior but you can get it all for the terrior or the challenger, -
