Managed to get hold of 2 nearly new and 2 very good part worn tyres for the ZJ.
Am I better putting the new ones on front or back?
Cheers

Best tyres on wherever they will be used most

Not very informative BD

I was told if it's fwd then they go there, & if it's rwd they go there
if it's permanent 4wd then rear as that is more likely to need grip than front
This was via a tyre monkey

:iagree:

Cheers guys, rear it is then.
Plus got 2 spares now.

I was told to put the deepest tread on the front as those are the ones you'll be praying will stop or steer you out of trouble.
Sounds fair to me.

Thought it was accepted wisdom that tread depth should be uniform on all corners with an XJ otherwise you could be headed for transfer case problems. I am prepared to be corrected by those with greater wisdom. :peekaboo:
-
Is the ZJ same system as the XJ if so I believe equal tread all round, unless I am corrected......
-
There is minimal difference between the nearly new and part worns

Sorry Jay. Must try to keep up to date. :icon_redface: I see your XJ has gone but I believe the ZJ needs the same rolling circumference.

Right,
I have got 2 new Insa Turbo's.
2 50% worn Marshall Road Venture MT
1 new Marshall Road venture MT
1 new Venture MT
Obviously the 2 above are different tread patterns is this an issue?
-
no
just make sure the diameters are closes to each other
-
Cool, ok final one. matching pair on front or back?
