Pics to follow over the weekend. Need to find a nice place to take the photos.. anyone know of a good spot to take photos at in the northern suburbs?

I thought it would be slower with the 35's due to their rolling mass but haven't really noticied a difference. The snorkel is the biggest Plus to power. It actually rams enough air into the engine to make 2PSI cruising and on decelleration at 100km's/HR

Definitely feels more responsive. the 35s are a big improvement and road manners haven't been affected that dramatically.

In reallity they may have originally been my new play tires, but i don't really want to take em back off.

I have 5, with the 35" spare now on my wheel carrier, I think they have now become my dailys as well . drove to work with em on this morning.

The coopers may just stay in the shed incase I bust a couple of tyres.

**EDIT** PIC AS REQUESTED

ROH make em. Its good to support a local SA company as well.

Can get them through most tyre places. Tyrepower got them in for me. Tried dealing direct with ROH, was easier going through Tyrepower. Cost me around 600 for the 5. well worth the money they are solid buggers.

Check out ROH's website </title> <link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" media="screen, print, projection" href="common.css"></link> <script type="text/javascript" src="ie_noclick.js"></script> <link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" media="screen, print, projection" href="st

I bought some redwood from a place in pooraka on research road, when i went up to Ngarkat for the Ngarkat / border track repair working bee.

Filled the boot up of the surf for $40 didn't even use all of it over the two days.

Can do that again if it makes it easier. unless someone has a decent trailer that could be towed up there and left at the campsite while we are wheeling. I don't mind draggin a trailer up behind the surf. Albeit it may need to be a 4x4 trailer as my tow ball is a fair way off the ground...
