OK nI'm running a Shinko 757 150/80/17 on the front it just steers handles and even wears better than the metz.
on the rear I am currently running my shocks a bit firm because my Toyo Proxes T1R 245/ 55 /16 (almost worn out 16,000 hard Klm's) hits the wiring under the guard if the shock was to bottom I have on order and it should arrive in the next day or so a Federal 595 245/50/16 it looks the goods and all the reviews on the tyre say it's a gripper and that's what I want

Hey Hanso I'm only a lightweight at 75 kg / 165 pounds what presure would you recommend ? I don't think I will bottom her out in a hurry but I'm running stock shocks at the moment

Good to hear that you are jumping to the darkside. The Riken Raptor is a very popular choice among Rocket Captains.

Have you considered going with a 225/55-16 instead of the 245/50? You still get the phat look without the mass of the 245.

I like the look of that tyre wonder if it's available here

Just worried about clearance issues that looks to be a nice tyre also

I am running a 245 now, it does not rub at the sides the only risk is if you go for the 245/55/16 the 245/50/16 won't rub under the guard like the 55 does when the suspenscion bottoms out

 

[Evil Mitch]

Hmm think I might order one then. How much r they worth and did u order online or through a dealer? Also am I likely to have any drama getting someone willing to fit a Darksider

Hanso, it looks like you're moving away from the Toyo Proxe 4's. Did something sour you on them, or are they just expensive?

How do they ride?
