those claws you put on chris's 80 (bought 90-95%) he wants to trade in on the new coopers muddies for hiway traveling reasons, of the same size 305/75/16 or is there a size in between the 315's as doesnt want that big again..........

let us know on here availability wise as it may be of interest toa few of the lads and pm me please oh RUBBER GOD

The 285/75R16 STT is available now (33x11.50R16 roughly).
Unfortunately due to the strike in the States recently, production on the 305/70R16 (33x12.50R16) and 315/75R16 (35x13.00R16) has been pushed back quite a ways in order to get the full flow on the sizes that have been released already. Guess-timation on time is early next year.
Cheers,
Ryano

doesn't appear to be any 255/85/16 size in the new STT either, so I'm sorta limited to the BFG MT or Cooper ST's in that size in the future......

rick, i was in tyrepower today and apparently bfg don't do a 255/85-r16 anymore. so does any one know of a tall, narrow(up to 265) 16 inch radial. also i guy on the job site next to mine had some simex centerpede mt radials in 31/10.5r15 looked pretty good and were only $130.

That is a shame, the 255/85 was a good size for defenders.

However a 285/75 can fit on pretty easily. I run 285/75 MTR's on my 110 on disco steel rims with 30mm extra offset. Very happy with them - about the same diameter as a 255/85, just 1" wider.

I have a set of bfg mt's 33x12.5x15 and they have become oval shaped they cause a vibration from 80 to 100kph. They have been rotated and balanced every 10000 and i run 33psi has anyone else had this problem and how can i fix them so they make less vibration?

Oh tell me it aint so !

Looks like a call to the bloke I bought mine off is in order, he's about the biggest retailer of BFG in NSW, although I'm still a few months away from needing/affording another set.

Ben , 285's would be fine, but I'd have to get the rims widened. (though extra offset would be nice, ifthe bloody narrow hubs can cope)

Muddies,
As to the balance issue, yep, been there. Just keep taking them back, it is a dynamic balance issue. I have a good tyre bloke who persevered and we got it in the finish. We also swapped the tyres side to side (changed on the rims) to beat the alternate scalloping of the lugs you described in the other post.

Fella's, received this email fom Michelin today re the 255/85/R16 M/T's

I run mine on 7" rims. Although not recommended (7.5" min in specs), they sit nice and flat, balanced fine, have been wearing perfectly, and hold the bead well, even at 8 psi (non-beadlocked).
