Hi there,
I know, it's probably one of the questions that appear again and again, but even searichng the net for days, I can't find an answer to my questions.
I just bought a new Nissan Patrol 3,0TDi. Beneath other smaller modifications, I'll equip it with a Steinbauer P-Box and a ARB Winchbar.
I'd also like to upgrade the serial tyres to something more solid, a Mud Terrain Pattern. Hell, it seems to be a very emotional matter, but after all, most guys go for the BFG MT or the Cooper STT. Probably they're both equally good, or almost. I guess that that doesn't make much of a difference...
But when it comes to the size of the tyres, there is just no common opinion, what size is the best for the bush. Some say the bigger the better - others told me nonono, you have to keep it small if you like to go off-road.
Honestly, I'm really confused. Sure I like the look of a fat tyre but when it only brings disadvantages I'd rather go for a smaller one!
I'll drive mostly on bitumen, some gravel road... but there are muddy times ahead, and I like to be prepared for that...
Anyone any suggestions?
