Got a puncture on a lane on Saturday so looking for some new tyres
found some second hand Insa turbo special tracks on black modulars for a good price, they any good???
Currently running BF Goodrich M/T's but not sure I can afford those again!
Cheers

Off road yes very! I used to let mine down to about 18psi and i could go anywhere a friends lifted 90 could go (mine was a standard disco v8).
On road they are so so but if its a pay and play only discovery then they fine :)
Get them bought, one of the best things i fitted on mine :)

Insa also offer a copy of the BFG M/Ts called the Dakar - I plan to fit these as soon as funds allow, as my A/Ts are a bit worn, especially on the front!

off road they are awsome on road very noisey and wont do to much good to your fuel bills!!

i found them off road they were brilliant,,
on road i found them nosiey and like a drink off fuel,, also steering dun feel as good felt a little bit slack and u turn and 5 mins later the jeep will then turn lol

Been told mixed things about the ansa range. They are ment to be very good copies of some more expensive tyres but due to the fact they are remoulds they do not last as long, a few people i know barely get 10k out of them but get 3 times that from say a bf tyre.
I went for bf's in the end due to this but im not saying the ansa is not a good tyre.
When i move to 35's i will be getting ansa i think lol

Simex extreme I think ;)
Hoping they are good as I got a set also @ a good price ;) thank you ;)
Not tried them yet but the bump stops will need adjusting and maybe an arch cut is next on the list :twisted: get the grinder out :dance:
Also it is my toy so 10k will now last me 3+ years :lol: :lol:

I run the INSA traction's the new tyre from them. I did have Dakars on and I couldn't fault them, very good off road and not noticably noisey on road.
I have to say the Tractions on my 110 kept up with a mate of mine who was running simexs on his disco.
We were really going for it in some places but nothing stupid. He would have got further than me if it came to it but as we were being sensible there wasn't really any benefit of having the simexs on.
I was chuffed to say the least :) Although driving and reading the tracks ahead comes into it.
