scooby_doo_do Posted April 13, 2009 Share Posted April 13, 2009 I'm looking at doing some off-roading/Green laning, however i'm just a little curious about a few things? Is it possible to have a road legal jeep, with off-roading wheels/tyres? Are all off-roading tyres ilegal/legal? why? It's just i'm looking at a jeep with offroad wheel/tyres with an mot etc, however i'm just wondering if the tyres are for off-road use only becuase of the ride/wear you'll get, or if there's a legal reason for it? Hope that kind of makes sence? thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paul Posted April 13, 2009 Share Posted April 13, 2009 BF Goodrich as already suggested or General Grabber AT2's. Got these on my L200 at the moment, very little road noise and decent grip off road and in snow:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dnk Posted April 14, 2009 Share Posted April 14, 2009 I cant testify to how good BF Goodridge are, I had mud terrains on my Range Rover and they survived driving to and from Morocco inc a month of serious offroading around Morocco. Very impressed with them BFG All terrains are also a very good option Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dangerous brain Posted April 14, 2009 Share Posted April 14, 2009 What sort of price are they? A mate of mine swears by the all terrains he has on his tomb raider but I think they are relatively expensive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Animal Posted April 14, 2009 Share Posted April 14, 2009 this is my offroader Those things are phenomenal. I did some of the fabrication drawings for the cab on the Carmicheal one back in '96 and the spec was scary. Fully laden they weigh about 60 tonnes and will pull 0-60 in 30 seconds iirc. Monster 1000bhp 2-stroke Detroit deisel engine. My first thought was 'that'd make one hell of a bring-ding-ding ding noise', lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I cant really help with the price as my trip to Morocco was back in 2000, i was very impressed with them to say the least as we covered a lot of miles and only suffered 1 puncture and got stuck once in deep sand, although that was due to me wimping out jumping a sand dune as i backed off the gas pedal too early:D just done a search and found this place http://www.paddockspares.com/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scooby_doo_do Posted April 14, 2009 Author Share Posted April 14, 2009 i need to get a jeep first before i get tyres :-) This was the car i was originally looking at, but the reserve wasn't met :-( http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&item=270371720652 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
