Peter, Simon has a photo in his gallery of that make tyre fitted to 18" rims. He might like to comment on the tyres in general.



Although I have done around 27k on my standard GoodYear Wrangler HPs (17") I would consider either Cooper ATRs or the MT Bajas as they seem a happy compromise to a fully fledged offroad tyre.

From your link, the MTs are LT and almost the same overall diameter as standard so should be a suitable replacement.

* second had a failure of the water outlet on top of the engine (pls check yours)

Norto - yes . we've been very happy with the overall performance of the Mickey Thompson ATZ - far from the most agrresive tyre around, but a good compromise, and not too noisy on road.

cheers.

If anyone is looking for a second set of rims to run some 17" rubber on, a friend from d2au copied me on this ebay ad:
