Which size tyres

Post by sierrajim »

I'm trying to decide on what tyres to go for on my zook.

It's fitted with the 1.6ltr, 5 speed sierra box, 6:1 series 3 and 4.6 ratio MQ patrol diffs.

I'm running 36x12.5 TSL SX'x now and am looking at changing to either 38.5x15 boggers or 38.5x11 boggers.

Not sure what way to go, anyone got any pro's and con's.

in my inexperienced opinion ;) , with the relative light weight of the zoo, i would go the skinnys, as they will place more pressure on the ground. with the wide ones, you will hardly be leaving a footprint.

but , if it were mine, i'd go wide.

my current tyres actually have a home already, only problem is that he wants them now and it will take around 8-10 weeks for me to get my new ones.

my old zook had 35 boggers then 38/11.5 boggers then 38/12.5 swampers. IMO the 38/12.5 swampers were the best for allround stuff, awesome grip and good ground pressure and cheap!

What gearing were you running with the 38's? and was it sufficient?

The vehicle is not driven on the road and also weighs 1400kg if that makes any difference to peoples opinions.

Go wide, i dont like the look of the skinny boggers. With that little weight, either of these tyres will see more than 0psi anyway.
