gday mate. I tried sending an email, but it bounced back.... ?
I always intended on posting them up on the forum, but
never got around to it.
The tyres fitted without the 2" body lift, but they did scrub bad,
and I didn't flex the truck at all without it. (The lift went on 2 days
later)
I've had the final set up (33's + 2" lift) out for a full day in the
bush, and only had one scrub on the inside guard, and that was when I
came down on the front right while having the wheel right hand down
(about half lock) Other than that i haven't had any probs, and I wouldn't
even call that much of a problem, if any at all. I'm yet to get it on a
ramp to really see how well they fit.
I wouldn't advise going any wider than 11.5's, and even then I'd see
if I could borrow someones to try them out first. I opted for the 10.5,
so I didn't have to worry about them fouling up later down the track,
when I started pushing the truck a bit further. However, that was only a
guess and hope that they would fit anyway, as plenty of people said
they wouldn't. But they fit nicely. so end result is all good!
The tyres themselves are sensational, The one day i had at watagans,
they never struggled, and I didn't get stuck once. Not a bad job as I
had the "Disadvantaged" IFS truck and the others were 2 80's (one with
the lot- lift, 33's etc) and a GU!
the only thing is that they don't look as chunky as the 12.5s, but as
far as traction goes, I don't think they suffer at all being skinnier.
My opinion is that most of the traction comes from the footing of the
tyre front to back, not the width side to side. And we also dropped them
down to around 20psi on that day at watto's....
Bit of a long story, but hope it helps, thats about all the info I
could think of. Now, just gotta find those pics....
Let me know how it goes!
Andy.
