tommi Posted June 7, 2009 Share Posted June 7, 2009 Hi Has anyone fitted 265/75/16 Insa Turbo Special Tracks to a defender 90 with standard suspension? Is it possible, or do I need a lift? Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aragorn Posted June 7, 2009 Share Posted June 7, 2009 For the most part, with tyres, if they dont fit on standard suspension they wont fit with a lift. incidentally 265/75's are perfectly fine on a standard 90, plenty of room Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does anyone know if the Insa's are any bigger than other brands, because they are remoulds? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThreePointFive Posted June 7, 2009 Share Posted June 7, 2009 They were fine on my standard 90 with only very minimal rubbing at extreme lock when on slight inclines. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BogMonster Posted June 8, 2009 Share Posted June 8, 2009 Yes they are quite a bit bigger than for example BFG MT's 265/75R16. I don't have measurements but I think mine were about 32.5" tall and the footprint on the ground was quite a lot wider too - didn't really take much notice of the actual section width. They look visibly bigger on the vehicle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tommi Posted June 8, 2009 Author Share Posted June 8, 2009 Will I go through diffs and halfshafts with a standard drivetrain? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brookers Posted June 8, 2009 Share Posted June 8, 2009 Will I go through diffs and halfshafts with a standard drivetrain? Depends how you drive, I have had a set fitted for a year on a RR with 10 spline axles and so far so good Brookers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grizzly Claw 4x4 Posted June 8, 2009 Share Posted June 8, 2009 The Insa Turbo SP 265/75R16 do come up a bit bigger than your nomal 265/75R16. The are about 32.5", got them on my motor fit fine and work great. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kev.rev Posted June 9, 2009 Share Posted June 9, 2009 Hi, ive got a set fitted to wolf rims and the only rubbing I got was on full lock the tyres touch the radius arms, I ended up fitting 30mm wheel spacers to get a decent lock! I have had them for nearly a year and have had no probs with broken half shafts and diffs (24 spline) I think it is just how you drive. They are very very loud on the road and abit wild in the wet! I have done about 7000 miles and the front tyres have worn down quite alot, lost about 10mm. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smokinv8 Posted June 10, 2009 Share Posted June 10, 2009 A friend of mine has recently ordered another set of Insas' 235/85/16 and found them to be of a smaller diameter than his old ones. Apparantly the size is determined on the casing size that is available when the remoulds are made and as such "new stock" tyres are smaller this time although they still have the same size stamped on the casing.
