These are nankang wide conqueror AT's 31x10.50x15. Would have a set of knobblies but these were £60 including the wheels! I agree with the above though especially when it comes to remoulds and off road tyres.

They look good mate and are a sensible choice given you use it a lot on the road!

Hi supergaz..thanks for the advice..i was thinking of that size too. I do not think

the tyres will be protuding Currently, due to budget constraint, i am only thinking of a 3" lift n new tyres. For a start, i am thinking of some mild off roading next year. Tryying to find a balance between creating a more aggro look and not going against the law too.

Currently my ride looks like this

Sorry, almost forgot this one :-)

Regarding tyres, this is only what I have experienced with non-remoulded tyres. Of course it's not within millimeters, but never seen different tyres-makes rated same size, but with inches in height-difference IRL.

Thing is Tom, a standard new MT can come with 8-10mm tread. An extreme new MT can come with 20mm of tread, so you can end up adding nearly an inch in just tread!

Then some manufacturers can't use a tape measure. A mate bought 35" Silverstone Extreme MT's which were a new tyre and they were only 33"!

It's a nightmare!

Those wheels look nice Bento. What make are they?
