hi im sure this will have been asked and answered several times before but after looking through the tyres section in the wiki and searching archives i cant really find what im looking for..?
im just after a list if possible of any different tyre sizes (and decent/cheap suppliers?) of off road tyres that people run for my 14'' syncro on mercedes 15'' alloys, not sure of the offset just yet but am prepared to space them as nessasary. bit of a noob with tyres so need to get it right first time if i can.
any help would be greatly appreciated. thanks

215 75 15's BFG All terrains, MTs for more offroad driving also can try Certain M & S tires and lots of other makes, regards wheels most merc 15's fit can check on the wiki supposedly camskills in the uk but not sure as in Ireland

After a lot of reading, I went with 195 R15 on mine and been pretty pleased. A little bit of extra height but n0t too heavy to steer and narrow enough for snow/slush and as much mud as I'm likely to hit.

Tyres are Marshall Powerguard AT, now sold as Road Venture- same as Kumho KL78 and about £70 a corner when we bought a set for the Freelander last month (on the strength 0f being happy with them on the Syncro)

OK, not full on "off road" tyres but thy're good all rounders and great value for the money

Go for an AT 215/75/15. Most seem to use the BFG but it depends what you useage pattern is going to be.

cheers for the help guys, been looking at goodyear AT/R in 215 75 15 size, anyone with any experience of these? look good for about the 50/50 road/off road that im after. cheers

woops, goodyear wrangler even

Had Wranglers on my old Disco to start with, but they wore quickly on that. Maxxis also a very good "budget" tyre with long road life
