Colway 4 X 4 M T
« on: July 09, 2005, 21:45:04 »
Has anyone used these? What are they like on road and off? And would 235/70R16  Be Ok on my Disco? With a 2" Lift. or are they to small or too big?

i use these tyres at the moment with my 2" lift, http://members.mud-club.com/profiles/driftwood/vehicle/  but i have 205/80/16's so i dont know abou the size you want, i'm not that up to date on the technical side.

i havent realy hjad any problems with them, quite good realy, there is a bit of droning noise on tarmac though. only tried them on lane and not the more extreme stuff yet. i was told though they do wear down very pretty fast though.

i paid about 35 quid each corner, on the second trip out i got a pumcture on one, least it wasnt 100 quid a corner i had to replace.

they do wear very fast on the road, and are a bit noisey

if you have a 2 " lift then you can fit 235/85/16, but you will have to cut the back of your rear arches, and maybe the front bumper aswell

a good alternative size is 245/75/16

the best allround tyre ive come across is the Goodyear Wrangler MTR, thses are qiute on the road and great off it 8)

Thankyou to "driftwood" And "Jon boy" for your convincing points! and i have decided not to go with Colway remoulds! plus a very good friend of mine who also has a Disco but works it and doesnt offroad it has offered me his General Xp 2000's  225/70/16  which are only about 2 months old with about 300 miles on them for virtually the same price so i can't go wrong!

I've had 235/85/16's on for a while now they do make a bit of noise on the road and they do seem to wear quite quickly but the are cheap and look cool and are spot on off road. :D
