If I buy a set of 4 36" tyres for my 2 door Cherokee (FSJ)

What happens when I get a flat (assuming a can of sealant fails)

Sounds dumb but I can't see having a 30" on with three 36"s being legal.

simple buy 5

Yup....

The legal part is both tyres on the same axle have to be the same size, so carry 2 30" spares

thats interestin Ian, never knew that

you could always keep an eye out for a single 35, they always kickin around on difflock and devon, thats close enuff not too notice short term

but u must have some 30's layin around attached to a stable member? if not i got a pair of bfg at 30 x 9.5 x 15 that are bit past their prime you can have, they certainly got easy enuff tread for an mot, just missin a few chunks etc

i also got some retro all terrains at the same size - Armstrong Norsemans - proper US retros for ya beastie

Actually its the RAC that fits the bill- I'm covered not the vehicle.

I'm guessing they'd say I should be carrying a spare and tell me to sod off.......otherwise they might just organise some extortionate rip-off tyre fitting firm to fit a new tyre for me = £££££££££££.

Can't carry a 36x12.50 spare in the usual place on a FSJ (not enough room)

Could stick it in the cargo area like a XJ (got a feelin it would totally dominate the whole interior)

Could build a swing away spare carrier like a CJ and not be able to see out the tailgate window, not to mention tryin to make the carrier strong enough not to tear the back of the body/chassis off.

Could find a 36" space saver if such a thing exists.

Bonnet?

ferretjuggler · « **Reply #8 on:** December 16, 2009, 10:05:37 AM »

One foot high x three foot wide tyre on the bonnet?

?

Gonna need a periscope through the roof just to get a clue where I'm heading

Also 10x stronger springs on the hood hinges to counterbalence the extra weight.

Either that or spend two evenings per week down the gym just to check the engine oil

under a deck in the boot methinks

What about something like a Swamper TSL Q78 - 35x9.5? They come up tall I was told and being 3" narrower it might fit somewhere??

Ummmmmm....yeah,

I find that quite disturbing actually

No point having a spare really when the new generation of motorist has the AA on speedial.

Wouldn't know how to change a wheel and wouldn't want to learn either

I just don't like what it's all leading towards..........

Bishops Finger · « **Reply #16 on:** December 16, 2009, 12:49:33 PM »

Take another birty...most are equipped with a spare tyre...

ferretjuggler · « **Reply #17 on:** December 16, 2009, 01:14:36 PM »
