Outer Limits 4x4 Board

Well melbourne boys i'm after a tyre comparo, between the 34x9.50 tsl and the 34 x 10.5 ltb. How do they compare in the tarrain that you guys drive. Grimbo you may have to cast your mind back to remember when you used to wheel the swampers.

Thanks

Big Steve will probably be the best to compare real life results. From my limited knowledge you will find the LTB has a slightly different tread pattern with an extra centre lug. Also the rubber is a softer compound. Pricing is similar as well.

I think the LTBs are slightly taller than 9.5s must be that the indians have a more accurate ruler than the yanks

Thanks grimbo.

If you had the choice again what would you buy?

yeah on chrome rims

Probably the LTBs just for the little extra width and softer compound but they weren't around when I got mine 4 years ago and i reckon I'll get quite a few years out of them yet

Works awesome actually. Now I can fit 2 veehickles in a 1 car garage unfortunately that's where it spends all it's time, I wheel as much as Grimbo!

You both need a good kick up the date!
Two fully sick rigs and all they do is provide some where the store the gardening tools!

I am almost at the point of getting a stock Sierra and putting the good bits from mine onto it. tried to get it out of the shed yesterday in preparation to take it to the rwc guy and the bloody starter motor has S#$% itself. Well and truly over the whole thing at the moment

That's what you get for having a POS Toyota engine

Seriously, I do feel your pain. Hang in there mate, keep the faith!!!

Well I can relate to thatr time and money thing your going on about damo. It was ages ago that I said I would start working on my car but nothing has happened. Been working OT for more cash but then I have no time, then the weekend comes and i'm out wheeling.

Hopefully soon things will be up and running for us all.

Griboi to bad about that starter, but hell thats not a problem is it!
Get back on the horse!!!

the problem is time. I'm working 10 -12 hours a day plus an hour each way to and from work. Then weekends i'm doing house renovations. Then there is the problem of trying to get the car on a tow truck to the guy which has to be Saturday morning and I have had 1 free Saturday morning in about 3 months and he wasn't available

LTB's are taller, way softer and a useful 1" wider. Plus, the slightly differently shaped/broken up blocks squirm a bit more. I have not seem them work all that much, and have not been able to compare on like cars (Gregs 2Xairlocker/Steves Welded/open) but I think the LTB's are a better all round tyres - they seem to have more bite on dry/loose surfaces.

Plus they fill out a 7" rim better. (easier to find... Greg is running beadlocked 6's)

As with all serious offroad tyres, I would consider some kind of positive bead retention.... Greg's 9.5's work best @ 2.5-3.5 PSI, and I think that Steve runs around 4 PSI.

Anything to add Steve?

Well I have 7" rims already so that shouldn't be a prob. How does steve run 4psi with no bead locker? I always get mud in the bead at 12psi on 29 bfg's. Then again watched some 37's go the same tracks as i did and they didn't get any mud near the rim

The hard compound of the tsl is a good thing for longer life I suppose but soft is better offroad.

You must be planning some mods or the angle grinder to fit those to yours dewse.

Cheers

I love my LTB's

By comparison they are softer and at least an inch taller and wider than the 9.5, I've used gregs on my old rig and had no complaints there either, I think mine behave reasonable well on road (like I care anyway).

I think the reason I have gotten away with no beadlocks thus far is probably weight????, I'll be investing in them soon but will be going for externals (Originally planned internals).

I think they are a nice "Big" zook tyre but are also not too phat and not to skinny.

I'd recommend them to anybody

Narr I just dig rubbing!

We will see what happens, first plan is to get some gears fitted.

How about you, you should be finished by now?
Plans suck!
