Yup I'm back as of Thursday............been on the bike to Portugal and Spain............

Had to move the steering cooler it was in the way of the winch motor

which at the time was not attached to the winch.
Winch now getting a Bowmotor now on order

BUT..............

Feckin tyres..............some eu bollocks about dirty oil and importing tyres........ now I cant get the IROK 39.5 x 13.50 x 17 s from Devon 4x4
but on the shelf already in this country
they have the same flavour as 20's........... too big
or as 15's.......... too small for clearing brakes......
or biggest they can give me is cooper stt at a 37" also too small

shit bollocks and corruption

Any ideas anyone got some 17" rim monsters?

Should have bought some ages ago but I lack a crystal ball and at the time the funds

IOM shud be ya dood there, dont matter what tyre I have mused on he seems to have a stash in his tyre tardis

Bulldog67 · « **Reply #78 on:** July 01, 2011, 04:17:26 PM »

also keep an eye on the Leviathan coz Norm may have to break the J20 and that has 38" flavour

You can still bring tyres from America (should that be tires!!!) personally you just can't do this on a commercial basis - it's no problem relax.

Oh and I have some 90% good 17x42" Iroks kicking about on rock-a-thon beadlock alloys - just to confirm the existence of my tyre stash!!!

wildwood · « **Reply #80 on:** July 01, 2011, 04:39:49 PM »

So I could ship em in for myself???

Thing is at 80-100 lbs a corner could get spendy........ are your rock-a-thons 8 lug (I am thinking not) and are the 42" boggers for sale and am I right in thinking they come up smaller than posted size?

Still trying to contact Double J he once offered me his 39.5 boggers on the H1 rims........ I would have to recentre them with imported new centres tho.

Just trying to get done so I can go wheeling again.......... got serious withdrawal.......

Indeed you can bring them in yourself - I'm holding on to my tyre selection right now "that is" till something new and more extreme becomes available.

If you do bring a set of tyres over we could combine as I want 20" staz wheels for the Buggy.

they heard about me then

wildwood · « **Reply #89 on:** July 03, 2011, 01:54:43 PM »

I am in mental torment

Here's the conundrum:

Put 37s that are in the UK and sensible fluff on the 1 ton and spend the rest of my life explaining why they're too small blah blah you get the picture.

Or sell an organ and get the Irok 39.5s in and have done with it for at least 5 years..........or until IOM relinquishes his 42s.

Worded like that I think I've just answered my own question

have you looked on u.s ebay?

king cj · « **Reply #93 on:** July 03, 2011, 11:02:22 PM »

or some recentered telehandler wheels and tyres, most telehandlers have 42s
thats what ill be looking at when my boggers wear out (hopefully not anytime soon!)

wildwood · « **Reply #94 on:** July 03, 2011, 11:10:24 PM »

Thanks Warthog and King CJ.......

Yes its Iroks all the way ......... got a deal of 15% off the Iroks and 20% off the shipping.......so at least I'll be at CF with one functioning major organ

Looked at US ebay and I could have bid on some H1 rims and got them for $75 but then there's the shipping

and also the need for 16.5 tyres. Feck me boggers are heavy....... 113lbs and Iroks at 84lbs....... that's 116lbs extra in tyres alone before you factor in the weight of H1 rims

So tomorrow........... I buy........... could do it now.... but ...........my head is full of Merlot.......

wildwood · « **Reply #95 on:** July 03, 2011, 11:13:51 PM »

This is from JP mag not my opinion........but they say appliance or agricultural tyres will have monster stiff side walls and big weight penalties and even with valve stems pulled will not react in the way we expect of an offroad tyre.....

but maybe on the King CJ rig.................

isle of man · « **Reply #96 on:** July 04, 2011, 09:57:52 AM »

I have purchased a set of 47" Russian Army tyres to try as thinking out of the box option - this is why I need the 20" staz wheels - we are all looking for different options with the impending EU tyre regulation!!!

Buy the Boggers in my opinion the best tyre for extreme events.

king cj · « **Reply #97 on:** July 04, 2011, 12:39:15 PM »

i love my boggers, this is my third set. but they are now a fortune, im looking at about £600 a corner now so when they a done im going for ags. we thought the sidewalls would be stupid stiff but they arnt really any worse than boggers, especially if you buy some second hand that have had a heavy loader flexing them and wearing them in! we have found that they work quite well in rocks too which is where we thought they would be useless. mud they work as expected, selfclean well but but if you do come to a spinning halt you will soon dig 4 holes and be on your belly lol!

wildwood · « **Reply #98 on:** July 04, 2011, 04:34:23 PM »

Nice one King CJ.......... Just done the deal on the boggers in a 39.5 flavour............. but when we are old and grey and I've ragged em to slicks............ I'll be stepping up to some second hand ags..........in a bigger flavour

king cj · « **Reply #99 on:** July 07, 2011, 09:05:58 PM »

mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm boggers!
