Been looking round this series I'm putting on the road, I though the tyres were big, Dunlop RV Radial Rovers  265/75x16 :shock:

Bit wider than the 7.50s on the other 88.

And the prices are too, might have to get a couple, looking at the damage on the sidewalls on the fronts, Dunno which way to go, lets see what happens on the mot next week first

'91 stretch Discovery 200 Tdi
Hybrid for running round (got to go now)
Srs 3 Lightweight petrol (got to go)
Srs 3 Lightweight petrol, runabout

Not every problem can be solved with duct tape, and it's exactly for those situations we have WD 40

They look too wide, i'd fit 7.50's or cos of the extended arches 235/75, i've got them on the 90 and they look the mutts nuts.  My uncle has a mint s3 on 6.50's, he spoilt it with wide radials with white writing on the sidewall, philistine!!!!!!!!!!!

Yes I know, my lightweight has 7.50 Guyanes, and the other 88 has 7.50 firestones, I call them town and country tyres

but I have a set of 15" falkens on the yard so might drop them on instead

No!!!!!!!! 7.50 is the ultimate tyre for a leafer.  Falkens 15", oh no.  Keep the 7.50's you know it makes sense.  I  think the uncle has falken at's, they look s**** (depending on size obviously).

The falkens are wide ones, MTs, need to be used starting to crack now and plenty of meat on them still, I'll see what happens next week
