Thread: All terrain tyres

Tall and skinny is the way to go for (almost) all off road situations. Think back to the old school Land Rovers and Land Cruisers. No big fat tyres on those. I used to run 7.00x16 cross ply Dunlop Universals with tubes on split rims on my African Hilux, they called them “biscuit” tyres. You wouldn’t believe what those tyres could handle. The 7.50x16 General Super All Grips, Falkens, etc, all tall and thin. So yeah Gimp, that’s the way on your Cruiser. The 225s I run now on the Hilux aren’t the tallest but I had the full monty bash plates underneath and they’ve saved the day more than a few times. I tried taller tyres on the Hilux but too much rubbing in the rough stuff, and loss of low down grunt.
