You can buy my tyres. They will be perfect for a 50mm body and 2 inch spring. I ran them on 2 inch spring and no body lift but had to adjust bumpstops to stop from scrubbing....check them out they are way better than the procomp x terrains. Mud Muncher runs x terrains in 31 inch and i outdrive him on anything traction related....

Hey dank,

What rims are you running them on?
And what are they like on the highway? (This question is less important - of course ;) )

I was running them on these south african made 15x8 steel rims. about -30 offset or a little more i think. They were imported into the country in the 90s but the importer stopped bringing them in according to MUD EMPIRE. They will run fine on 15x7s and i never had an issue with them on 15x8s down to about 6psi.
And what are they like on the highway? (This question is less important - of course ;) )
On the highway your mates will hear you coming from a km away :D. They are fine when they are pumped up to about 35psi to reduce rolling resistance. Of course you can't compare a bias tyre to a radial. Just gotta take it easy in the wet thats all...

They are a great tyre and are a bloody good price in my opinion.

No problems

Thanks for that info. They look good. I will have to wait at least a week or so B4 I can make a decision as I might have some stupidly cheap X-terrains on the way (too cheap to say NO too)...

Agreed that the MT-117 are an excellent tire, and your price is good too - If option A falls through I will PM you.

Just remove the steering stop bolts, buy similar bolts but say 10mm longer, then put a nut or 2 on the bolt before putting the bolt back into the hub. The nuts effectively space the steering stop out. Only use one if you only need a small amount of stop extension/
