Hi all, yes another tyre question...sorry!!
I'll keep it short and sweet, I have a 5door 300TDi Disco which is on some road like tyres and i'm wanting to upgrade to something with more meat....I love the look of the Insa Turbo's or one of their replica tyres.
My Disco is lifted 2", has +2" Paddocks arches (arches are cut behind for clearance), and is running 8J Modulars.
If I fit the tyres I mentioned in that particular size, will I encounter problems out in the mud or when articulated?

Rear fender trimming-----arches cut already
Front endcap trimming-----not the end of the world, can always remove the bumper end caps anyway
Steering stops-----???
Possible bump stop height.-----??
Its to be used as a toy most of the time so wont spend much time on the road (commuting, shopping trips etc) and is to be used mostly for pay/play days and greenlaning.
The other thing that concerns me is that people say with Turbo's, your more likely to bust the running gear when the tyres do get grip- is this a likely story or should I look at other slightly tamer tyres? Looking for tyres wider than the 235's fitted currently as they dont tend to fill the arches as well.
Thanks in advance,
Paul.
