Hi, new to paj ownership and this forum
Could someone help with some tyre advice please ?
I have 215/80/15 tyres fitted,  two are m/t and two are a/t !
what size tyres can I go up to without mods and what type ie:a/t or m/t ?

I use the paj for shooting trips so drive on farm land and some green lanes, also I will be towing a car trailer from time to time.

Also is 30psi all round ok?

thanks for any help.

M/T are mud terrain A/T are all terrain
i have 1 set with 215/80/15 s A/T
set with 265/75/15 H/T hard terrain (road tyres)
a set with 235/85/16 A/T
a set with  235/85/16 M/T
and a set with 205/80/16 A/T
     

most seem to use 265 70 15

OK so 265/70/15.      a/t or m/t ?

30psi ok ?

[wiggletiger]

depends on how much "off roading" you intend to do ,if any, or how severe, every day use without any off road stuff then H/Ts  mild off road occasionally then A/Ts  if lots of playing in the mud then M/Ts  
30 psi is what i run with

Great many thanks for your help.
I forgot to mention that its a MK1 lwb if that makes any diff.

One more thing, will having lower profile tyres (70) throw the speedo out ?
or change the wheel arch to tyre gap?

use this as a guide   its the overall size that makes a difference
there is lots of info on here about what bit of the tyre size does what and how they vary

hi GTIR250, welcome to pocuk.com

if they're standard Mitsu wheels with 215 R15 tyres then they're probably 6 inch rims, if that's the case the biggest tyres you should fit are 235/75/R15 (30x9.5 R15)
good choice of all terrain tyres available in 235/75/R15
if your 215 R15 a/t's are good (inc. spare) then stick with that size.
