Outer Limits 4x4 Board

I'm interested in what tyres sizes everyone's running on their Feroza's.

Plus, if they're larger than factory fit (225/70 15) is there is a noticeable loss of performance due to the higher gearing? Or any other tradeoff.

I'm thinking about going for 235/75 15 when mine wear out.....

my brother in law marc, who comes on this site runs 31x10.5" MTR's on 15x7" rims.

he lost a bit of low range gearing, nothing worth complaining about.. goes heaps better these days!

your spedo will be out.. but who cares aye :wink:

Wadda ya want ME to say ???






35x10.5R15





Maybe I should go BIGGER .........maybe a 37" tyre......


Wadda ya reckon ????

I ran 235x75r15 with 2.5" suspension lift.

I now run 31x10.5 on 15x8" rims with 2" body lift + suspension lift.

Yep, you do lose a bit of low range gearing, on the road I love it tho..3rd gear is a powerhouse now, pull 70kph no worries

Ferozius...go bigger dude, rollover pics are always welcome

i am running 30 x 9.5 BFG MT's on 15 x 7 rims with 3 inch susp lift.

I noticed change in low range, and the speedo is out by about 10%.

Huge increase in on and off road performance.

For those who are worried by the speedo error, do what I did, go buy a GPS, and fit it to your dash. I always have mine set to speedo/odometer when travelling, then it doesnt matter what size tyres you are wearing.

I use 31" Cooper STT , there great when your mates tail gate you off road cos good sized rocks get stuck in the tread then flick out , same applies with mud

I'm running 235/75 r15 with 40mm lift with no problems

I wouldn't recomend going any bigger unless u put a suspension lift or body lift in.

With no lift and the anti-swaybar removed my 235's scrubbed on the plastic under the front guards.

44 inch SWAMPER BOGGERS

I'd prefer Super Swampers......NOT Boggers !!!

This is rapidly turning into a "mine's bigger than yours" contest!

James do you reckon they'd be OK on a standard height narrow track?? What brand /model tyre are you running too?

I worked out the speedo error would only be 4km/h @ 100km/h for 235/75 15. Most factory speedos read low anyway.

You know what they say about blokes with BIG hands....don't you :wink: :wink:



























They need BIG gloves

Big tyres are just compensating for small .....

.... then what would say about a bloke who felt the need for an extra two cylinders under the bonnet as well??

I'd get some really big tyres if I had a second set of rims, I don't fancy them that big for daily use on bitumen. I like to throw it around a bit on road- could see me coming unstuck...

Dead bog stock 1991 F300 narrow track Feroza, mine took 235 x 70 15 GoodYear Wrangler AT/S All Terrains without touching anything.

I'd think you shouldn't have any problems if u leave the anti-swaybar on but if you do plan on removing it down the track then I'd put a lift kit in.

Tyres are WILD COUNTRY RADIAL RVT muddies

Hey guys
I havent been on for a while. I finally got some new rubber and wheels.
15x7 sunrasias and the new Wrangler MT/R's 235x75x15. The lift is coming soon. The tyres only scrubbed on the front mud flaps so they were removed. I had an awesome day in the Wattagans in the mud
and the tyre were sh*t hot. I wanted to get the car filthy so I parked in a good size boghole then tramped it in 2nd low which resulted in me almost getting whiplash from the launch out with barely any whheelspin at all.

One more. 8)

From your pics it looks like the front mud flaps have heaps of clearance?? Do they hit on full lock or something like that?

They fill out the guards nicely and sound like a good tyre for mud. What are they like on road?

And, if you don't mind me asking, what ballpark figure did you pay for the package (wheels and tyres). I take it you only bought four going by the standard spare wheel cover still fitting?

You only running 35's Besty ?? - Dissapointed mate

31x10.5's on the Widetrack Feroza with 2+" suspension & 2" bodylift is just about spot on perfect. Kills the Low range a bit & definitely back to 3rd on most freeway hills - but otherwise great.

235/75 is perfect for stock or 2" lift wide or narrowtrack - would never go anything smaller if you do any real offroading. If you are rubbing anything with 235/75's on a Widetrack then your Front Torsion Bars have sagged - Wide 'Em Up !! Throw a set of 2" Extended Shackles down the back & you're away !!

Good to here the Goodyear MTR's are getting a big following - I'd say they are going to be my next tyre. Certainly haven't heard any good things about the latest BFG M/T KM's - sad since I have been a BFG fan for a long time......

Later -

G-day Mike , I'm more then happy with my Coopers , I'd recommend them and when time comes to renew the rubber I would get them again

What are the Wrangler MT/R's like on the blacktop, noisy

..... and what do they grip like in wet and dry (on bitumen again)?

The outside rear corners were rubbing on the bolts that held on the flaps at about 80% of full lock both ways. As for what they cost, 45 ea rim and 200 ea tyre fitted at Beaurepares. You do the sums, good price I think.
The road noise is awesome, it screams "get outta my way i'm cumin through" and you can hear it along way away (just what you need for a little truck) 8) , so if you don't like the noise don't gettem or turn the stereo up. 8)

I used to have 33x12.5x15 swamper tsl on Killed my C.V. joints

Ill try 32x9.5x 15 simex next time

Wolfpack, was it the tyres that killed your CV's, or the three inch lift??

Just checked out the Goodyear website and they only make 11 different models of the Wrangler 4WD tyres including the MTR! Has anyone tried any of the others?

The tire's due to the weight, the driveline angle was remedied by tilting the diffrential (front) to the right, thats the right drive shaft (short one) to mprove the c.v. joint angle form here on nothing over 32 and wider than 9.5 for my feroza, ill leave the big tire for my LC-60
