I have a GU 4.2TD with a 2" lift, and I'm planning to put 285/75/16 MTR's on it. Has anyone had problems with this size rubbing on inner guards or any other problems. I'm aware of the performance issues, just looking for any mechanical issues.
Cheers

To Simon, your xterrains have super agressive tread ,no wonder they serve you
well off road,but how do they handle say wet bitumen,and how noisy,please see my post 6360, thankyou for any advice.

Hi brian
They are a great tyre no more noise than a AT tyre (allthough its been a long time since i have run at's) great on the road performance better than a mud tyre (mtr's, bfg's) in wet conditions.
I feel they are bloody pricey but you get what you pay for i guess let me know how you go price wise on them?
Mine were put on as part of the deal when i brought my gu and the 305 size retail around the $380 mark i think.
I have travelled around 6k on them and have not noticed any wear i will try and measure the tread wear when i get a chance as my spare is new.

I found My 315/75/16 Procomp Xterrains to be the BEST all round tyre I have had so far.(these are the perfect 'one set' tyres. For a 2 set scenario, I would go Goodyear MTR and Super Swampers.
Xterrains are Excellent on and off road, wet or dry, quiet, and work
well offroad.
I have also used in the last 18 months:
Bfg Mud, Cooper ST, Goodyear Wrangler MTR, Interco Super Swamper, Interco Trxus M/T and
Dunlop Grandtrek AT20's
