nobber Posted June 27, 2007 Author Share Posted June 27, 2007 569204's they are. riveted 1 ton rims. the ones i wanted were 569203's but id be waiting forever to get a set. all i need now are tyres and i can get rid of my crappy rangie rims. how feasible would it be to put tubes into tubeless tyres?

101sean Posted June 27, 2007 Share Posted June 27, 2007 Perfectly feasible. Thing to watch out for is that tubeless tyres can have a label on the inside that if not removed will eventually chafe the tube. My 101 is on XLs with tubes in and i've run a series 3 before with tubes in tubeless tyres no problem Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jasper110 Posted June 28, 2007 Share Posted June 28, 2007 i've got XZY's on wolf rims on my 110. i got them (new) from e-bay although you don't often see them new. i'm about to get a second spare XZY from vass complete with rim. they say the wear is about 70%. i can let you know the condition if you're interested. i have been quoted around £70 which for a tyre on a wolf rim i would say is quite reasonable. i would agree with others that these are long lasting, mine are showing little wear after a year. they are also heavy with the weight of one on a wolf rim coming in at nearly 30 kg.

nobber Posted June 28, 2007 Author Share Posted June 28, 2007 nice one , let me know how you get on. i have been told by vass that the tyres are new 'unused' condition. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve King Posted July 1, 2007 Share Posted July 1, 2007 You can get XZL's on a Wolf rim from Paddocks for £99 +VAT Edited to sat that I misread XZY and thought you were after XZL's Sorry! Steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jasper110 Posted July 2, 2007 Share Posted July 2, 2007 got my wheel and tyre today. perfectly happy. the tyre is a little worn, but no more than my existing ones and has loads of tread left. rim in good condition with slight surface rust here and there. again in no worse condition than mine (in fact better than some of them). will paint white at some point. all up price was £111 inc delivery to NE scotland. when you add up the price of a tyre from somewhere, a rim from somewhere else, delivery from them both plus VAT, plus having it mounted and balanced i think it's not bad. plus its a genuine landrover rim not a britpart copy.
