As an idea would noticably wider back tyres look good on a forester, similar idea to an x5? Obviously same height so as not to kill the transmission.
Or would the first idea of chunky mt's be better?

M/Ts, as you don't usually see a Forester set up so
Check speed ratings though, as most will probably have a maximum of 100MPH?? ('Q' rated)
(113MPH, 'S' rated, for BFG M/T???)

Yes..... you are turning chav. Neighbour Has a Forestor they sound pretty good with the turbo n' that. The way it accelerates i would want fast road tyres.

BFG MT are Q rated as well, though there are some similar mud terrains with an S peed rating in the same size as a BFG.

What about Goodyear Wrangler M/T, as they were fitted to the G4 Range Rovers

depends, what are you thoughts on burberry caps or tracksuit bottoms tucked into white socks with rockport shoes?

Hang on a mo. Since when has the Forester been a chav mobile? SWMBO drives one over some very steep untreated moor roads to work every day and in the last 3 years has only had to go the long way round once, then only because a brewers dray was stuck in a gill and there is no space to pass. With winter tyres fitted that thing doesn't seem to notice ice and snow.

The car is not chav but 18 inch wheels that are v wide at the back could well be.
Anyhow i think mt's and a subaxtreme front bumper are now the more likeley route.
