Picked it up Friday. Today 5 Micky Thompsons 265/70/R17's were fitted. More to come



The rear wheel carrier does not fit with these wheels - much to the wife's discuss. :-)

Looks great David. How much larger are the 265/70's?

Hey Dave nice colour rig. How are the tyres? Are they noisy?

[slimf Senior Member Find all posts View Profile Close slimf]

Only got them fitted at 5pm.. So really haven't done any driving. Will update.

Will try to fit the Tyre onto the holder again and will report how it goes.

Thanks Hutch / they fit with the tyre cover. The tyre shop didn't try hard enough.

Tyres are noisier than std, but not to bad.

Got two front windows tinted today. Bull bar lift and bits maybe next week.

My cover fits on mine in the same size, but its a bloody snug fit, requiring a bit of time and effort. Best done with two people.

The tyres are noisy, but nothing too obtrusive at highway speed. They are on par with (maybe a little quieter, but I had them on a GU, so hard to compare directly) the BFG AT's for noise. Definitely less noisy than the ST Maxx.

Fitted headlight and bonnet protectors today. Pics tomorrow. I will also measure standard height so I can compare before and after lift.

I have a question for any ARB side step owners. Are these things suitable for protecting the car like rock sliders or are these things Jewellery?
