Title: Budget-ish MT Tyres
Post by: Unforgiven on November 21, 2014, 06:10:42 PM

Got the XJ stuck today. It's got Grabber AT2 on it at the moment, Was only pulling a trailer across a field.

Got any recommendations for some relatively inexpensive MTs for an otherwise stock 4.0.

Cheers

They look like the jobs.

Just confirming they fit an otherwise stok XJ - can see in the pic that one has posh shocks

shocks came from Birtys. :D 29s or 235x75x15s (235x70x16) will fit a standard ok, my old ones went to a stock xj.

Went with these ^ in the end. Not stuck now, that's for sure. They rub a bit, but that's down to saggy old springs and so on. Replace them, bit of trimming, and she'll be right.
