Hi all,

Looking at a new set of treads in the near future. 1- simply because ill need them soon and 2- coz my mate just got a new set of BFG 31s and they look REAL GOOD!!! haha

So basically ive read many different things about tyre/wheel combos and i wanna lay the indecision to rest... ARE BIGGER TYRES REALLY WORTH IT???

My uncle seems to think that the factory 225/75r16's (cheese cutters as he calls them) on my Navara are fine and providing i drive properly will take me any where, so he says stay the same size but get a good set of ATs

My mate says the bigger and wider the better due to more ground contact, but i thought that was only really necessary in the sand... Is what he says true?

Im looking for a good ratio of on and off road performance. I dont mind sacrificing a little bit of fuel efficiency in return for a good time in the dirt. And in my mind performance is more important than looks...

I was looking at going to a set of 245/70r16's

Opinions will be greatly appreciated
