  1. I would try first for a few drives and see if you face any issues.
  2. Check during installation if there is any running while steering completely left or right. On Vanessa her Pajero we have put a 2inch spacer to have slightly wider center of gravity.
  3. This size comes to an overall diameter of 31,6 inch, which is the same as Vanessa her 265/65/18 tyres. She has no issues with rubbing. Maybe some of the inner fender lining is offered to the desert gods though
  4. Yes absolutely but have a look if it’s not running the inner fenders too much. They are fantastic tyres for off-roading.
  5. DRIVE REPORT There are only a few places that could come close to LIWA, but Bu Tais is definitely one of them... We all met up on time and came across another convoy (not Carnity) at the same meeting point. They were looking for their marshal and realized a few minutes later they had to go further inside. We did a quick briefing with emphasis on not fighting gravity and keeping it safe at all times. As i mentioned before we would all have to challenge our 4x4's for several hours in this terrain, so we needed to keep a fresh head. With @Asif Hussain in my second lead, followed by the two capable Pajeros @Gaurav Soni and @Mus_hus78, we made quick progress through Bu Tais, with enough sideys to wake us up and get us on the top of our seats. The Xterra boys @Asif Hussain @Kalahari and @Rizwanm2 brought lots of power to the game, but amazing driver skils as well. @Christian Andras felt lonely in the only Toyota but he made it up by trumping us all with the massive power and it truly was a sight to see ! @Gaurav was the silver bullet in the back of the convoy: patiently waiting for his turn to make a sidey and after his attempt we knew there was little possibility to get it more spot-on After having met up at the 7 palms relatively early in the morning, i decided to launch Plan B and head out to Umm Al Oush and its famous star dunes. This involved getting through some funny technical dunes but all managed extremely well ! Once reaching the Star dunes, we were greeted with the most amazing sights, and seeing Asif bhai his smile standing on the top of the star dune made it even better. Apart from some crests and small refusals to keep us a bit active, we ventured around in these dunes with very few issues. As the clock kept ticking and i wanted to get the convoy out on the East Side of Umm Al Oush, i decided to head back, and we took the Paris Dakar dirt track that lead us back to the entry. Could i have stayed longer in this terrain ? Absolutely, but i always remind myself of the quote "Quit when you're winning" and try to follow the same. A big thanks to the support of the drive that was ALL OF YOU ! I wanted to explore this area for a long time already and thanks to you guys we were able to conquer it ! We will be bringing more of those drives this season, so get ready for some action and adrenaline ! https://www.relive.cc/view/vrqDQzYAJLv
