900 Club Forum

35" tyres from MAXXIS is a reasonable and rather cheaper option at this stage, I would think. Yes, I do know of a workshop in Pretoria that could do a coiler FC for you.[/quote] Hi JPC, I found a supplier for 1100/16, serious tractor style front tyres. as well as 9.00x16's I'm waiting for a quote fr...

They are going to be about 3 inch diameter smaller. that going to be about 10% lower gearing. if you have standard gear box and do a lot of on road driving you might find that a draw back. :? Hi Wheeledbeast, nice to meet you. Smaller is not going to work for me then. F*(^)^**g expensive 9.00x16's ...

Russel, sit down, strap in, put you crash helmet on! Michelin XZL 255/100R16 costs ZAR5694 + 14%VAT each. So I guess a set would cost more than you paid for your FC. I suggest you first have a good look at your tyres' condition when you get your truck, before you contemplate a pre-mature hernia :lo...

9.00x16 is now available in SA as it is standard fitment on the Iveco Daily 4X4........but a set will cost more than you paid for your truck.

Hi JPC,

How much and from what tyre dealer's? I cant seem to find them. Been all over the internet.

Did you get my mails yesterday?

Peace

Thanks for the info,

I am trying to find suitable tyres here in South Africa. Not an easy task.

As this is the "900" club, 265/75R16's will have no place on my truck!!!

Peace

Hi All,

I'm new here and would like to know if 265/75 R16 tyres qualify as decent
and acceptable?

Peace

Hi Wheeledbeast & JPC.

Glad to be here. JPC, unfortunately not. It's in SA. Bought it blind
will hopefully meet my beauty just before Christmas.

Hi Guys,

Just remember if anyone gives you issues about reliability, a useful stat: 93% of all
Landrover's ever built are still on the road..... the other 7 % made it to the destination.

Hi All,
