skinny sort of tyre, ain't it? Would've thought it'd lower the gearing.

At last low box on the freelander ;0)

ah, well, you didn't say that - although I freely admit I didn't actually look at the site.

I did... :0( s'all a b'irra fun in'it.

:0)

And I would like to say what a cracking deal it looks too... if only I had a freelander.

Andy, I think the next deal should focus on 101's please ;0)

Yuk. Even worse than Petlas (and that's saying something).

BFG All Terrains in that sort of size woud be a useful tool, ideally fitted to 18inch Mach 5 rims (six stud, natch).

I say, old chap, any chance you could sort out your newsreader?

'nother reason to avoid 101s, then, tyres too bloody dear.

anyone tried getting 17.5" commercial rims fitted, so as to be able to use the 8.25 R 17.5 commercial tyres that replaced the old style 7.50x16 ones on small lorries?

Mind, they could be a bit small for a 101.

S'all relative. Reckon they'd last rather longer than the Volvo tyres, and they're almost that each corner. The Petlas on there now cost about £70 IIRC, and are pants. Needs must and all that, but they won't be staying on there too long.

Yup. You want summat with at least 34 inch diameter, ideally a bit bigger if the engine is in decent fettle and you want to do motorway cruises.
