The thing is SamoL, after to much researching and exploring the net forums I'm leaning toward tall and skinny preferable 255/85 (33" tall). I really don't like a heavy steering, It just not fun add tire deflation.
The 255/85 is just not available in any dealer, only by ordering them. In the...
Hello guys
Today I found interesting tires from BFG dealer
The BFGoodrich Rally Raid tiers
http://www.bfgoodrich.com/racing/AfficheServlet?Rubrique=20060413093752&Langue=EN
They go for exactly half the price, 490$ per tire, to 245$. They are new, left over from the last UAE desert...
Nice to know. I have the option off 6.5, 7.0 or 8.0 wide steelies

Back :)
I measured those Siam today
33" inch tall no were close as XZL 255/100 (36.1" inch). I know BFG A/T's are 34.6" tall and would work with some minor rubbing under full compression.
[3.61-34.6]= 1.5inch = 3.75cm
The question is how I can make the XZL fit?
Mounting them...
There is nothing available bigger than 285/75 from all the brands, only BFG BAJA and Michelin XZL. I'm uncertain about the BAJA quotation I have, I will find out tomorrow. :beer:
The goodyear MTR's 285/75 are priced at 330$
You are right, it all sand here in UAE
But I can have all kind of terrain if I plan to travel around the Gulf countries, especially Oman, great backcountry
Appreciate your input. Thank you
The XZL are from Michelin, search the forum and google'em, you will find all what you need to know ;)
