Finally!

She has her new boots!

They are Fedima Fronteiras in a 265/75/16s.

The Fedimas werent initially my first choice. I was originally going to go for MTs but around were I live, there is a hell of alot of 90 degree bends so I wanted to have a tyre with more grip after losing the back end not so long ago and facing a hedge (not fun I tell ya) so I went for ATs.

I was going to go for General Grabbers but my budget is really tight so I ordered a set of Insa Turbo Rangers in 265/70/16s online with Tyres Direct. Follow morning I get a call saying the Rangers were on back order, so I said about the Fedima Fronteiras in that size, yet again on back order.
He then went on to say he can do the Fedimas in a 265/75/16s. As I wasnt to sure because of the rubbing that may occure, I sat there in silence for a few seconds thinking about it. Sod it I said, go for it.

So glad I did, No rubbing at all. I modified one of the arches but never got round to doing the other, I didnt even need to do any of them.
They dont fill the arches as much as I wanted them to but just means more space for articulation and I'm quite impressed with the grip.

You will be surprised at what you can get through with that tread pattern, I had that pattern but different brand on about 6 or seven years ago on my sport, they loved the lanes and wore well too.
And you will be glad to know they are generally better in snow and sand than full muds

How much did you get them for? My next set of boots will be 265/75 16 me thinks, unless I get can some deep dish wheels with tires on cheap before hand.

And I have to say, I do like the look of that tread on a fronty...looks the business! Wonna swap them for my HTs??
