Wurzil's Other Play Thing

[wurzil67]

The TAX man has been kind to us I am thinking of new tyres and rims No dear they won't be noisy or to big or slippery in the wet
Anybody have good recommendations for pricing a set Mickey Thomson Baja MTZ's in Brisbane got some pricing around the traps but not real sure!

Thanks mate have got some pricing from them. How do you find the 285's have you had much trouble with scrubbing

[ML-VR08]

Nah no scrubbing at all - i have since changed to +20 offset, and it feels like the car is wobbling when hitting bumps etc, hard to explain, but certainly feels like the wheel nuts are loose or something is moving. Had a quick look over everything but cant seem to find anything, and its only happened since these new wheels have gone on...???

have you got any pictures of how far out the tyres stick from the side of your triton? also what size lift are you running to get the 285's under there?

the wider stance your triton now has could be making the difference? but even then i couldnt see how it would make it feel like it was wobbling around........... hmmmmm

I will post them in the general section - this isnt my thread...lol

I had a similar problem when fitting larger tyres to my old hilux but fixed it by fitting a tough dog steering damper.

My wife has just bought me a new set of tyres and rims as an early xmas present. Will be all fitted tomorrow so will post up some photo's when we pick it up.

[wurzil67]

Found a pick on line of the wheels.

[wurzil67]

These will be the new tyres.

Nah mate change of plans. We will be purchasing a camper in the near future so have gone back to a hard lid so we won't be needing the extra space in the tub.

Just looked at your day trip story and liked the look of your truck! I'm Interested in the khumos, they are a directional tyre? How have you found them so far? And did you just keep a previous tyre for the spare? Am i right in saying It would be difficult to run one as a spare?
Cheers

Well I have just clocked 10000 with the Khumos and really happy with them so far. I replaced my spare with a steel rim and new tyre of the same profile. They are a directional tyre but I'm more than happy with them. They are no where near as noisey as my old Coopers.
