If your close to Gower I have a set of General Grabber AT2's that are on 15" merc rims that you could try out.

Maybe in the New Year as you're a bit far from Shrewsbury and we're doing New year in Glen Coe. Thank you though.

Not sure the bfg A/T comes in a 65/70 profile in 15" form...do know a 215.70.16 A/T is a wee bit smaller than a 215.75.15 M/T however despite the tyre calculators saying otherwise.

If your engines in good health you should be able to pull it off with a 5.43 final drive....but you may find yourself stirring the pudding a bit more on the hills...next question will be " what engine upgrade do I need?"

A plus point of the bigger tyres is much more relaxed motorway cruising...as long as its not to hilly..and even improved mpg is a possibility.

That's exactly where I am at the moment, tomorrow is drop off day for the van, nice dry barn will be it's home for the next month or so.
If your in the surrey area your welcome to slip on the MT's and see what you think.

The smallest 15" BFG A/T is the 215/75/15 which will raise your gearing by only 7%. If your engine cant pull that then I wouldn't be looking at tyres!

Fair point. I think I'll try the 215/75/15 tyres. If they don't work I can always sell them here!
