[Disco_Stu]

Now that, I think you'll agree, is a bit more like it!

Picked em up this morning but I've had to go to work. Can't wait to fit them tomorrow :)

LOL. :lol:

[Disco_Stu]

Hehe, cheers lads. Well spotted sir, they are 7.50 R16, so around the 255/85 size I think, about 32" dia.

[boss]

are they baja claws or re-cip?...or something totally different? :lol:

[AndyMacG]

looks like its the fit bigger tyres on your disco season  :lol:

Ive got 7.50r16's G90s on wolf rims now on my disco

had to give the rear the camel cut  and its got heavy duty bearmach blue springs on which have raised it about 40mm

[landymadjay]

Did you get them fitted mate?

closer to 235 /85/16

yours are 32.1"..... .1 of an inch bigger ......than the 235/85's

but 0.9" narrower  ;)

amazing this tinternet thingy.... :lol:

[Disco_Stu]

Ok, managed to fit them yesterday and yes, they rub everywhere so plenty of chopping needed (Or perhaps a 1" body lift....):)

They are Recip Trail which I believe is a bit of a Mickey Thompson tread rip off. They seem good on the road, not too noisy and no handling/stopping issues so far.

I have 4 x 7.50 R16 and 1 x 335/85/16 as a spare. I probably looked at the same sites as you for tyre sizes so imagine my surprise when I measured them. As you say the 7.50 is only marginally taller but its almost a full inch wider. So I reckon maybe 255/80? or somthing similar. You'd have to see them together to tell but there is a difference.

For those that are wondering, 5 tyres with less than 200 miles on them mounted on 5 new black modulars - a smidgin over £300 on ebay.

Any pics?

stu, i was speaking with jerry thuston not so long ago and he said that the baja claw type tyre is very good but in low pressures in the mud they bocome slicks. dont know if you drop the pressures or not but i wouldnt

[Disco_Stu]

Cheers Boss, I dont usually drop pressures but I'll bear that in mind.

Pics I've just taken, just not had a minute this weekend, working at the moment but just done a 45 mile round trip to Crosby and back - 70mph on motorway was ok, and considering its pi55ing down, no traction issues at all.

[boss]

wow that looks cool man :thumbup:

[landymadjay]

That looks wicked i like  :D.

Jay.

[mass199]

I had a set of recip trails on my Suzuki, i ran them at road pressures even at pay and plays at minety which is a mud bath.

They only let me down when the truck ground out. Very good tyres for the money.
