i dont have an opinion on the tires, until i hear how they perform and wear. i probably would keep it real with bfg's. but, its a decent looking p38.....

So I got new tires for my Range Rover and Land Rover Discovery 2! THEY ARE AWESOME, and I'll bet noone else in the forum has them:D I got SS M-16's by Interco, and I'll attach a few pics for your viewing pleasure! These Tires are awesome!



They really did a bad copy of the KM2's which by the way are awesome and loud.

The springs are from Strutmasters, it's their conversion kit with 2" spacer all from them and it was only about $600, and it rides great and articulates very well.... I have new shocks on the way so I can really know how well they articulate, but I think I need new brake lines before I can really get it to flex out all the way


Those tires will be perfect for you.

i was thinking (a new design) Thornbird also. i guess we will see how they do. but to each his own. IMO you follow or try something new. but he's happy right? that is all that matters.


oh yeah, my tires say "Dick" on them. :D

We realize you are young and enthusiastic Dante, but declaring them the BEST because they are the first off road oriented tires you've ever had is being a little silly. I'm sure even the Interco techs will admit they were intoduced for the show truck crowd.

My FIRST tires? Now that is silly and a terribly wrong assumption, but you seem like an alright guy so I wont say anything dumb, plus I think your LR is cool

I have the same spring on my p38 and under articulation they pop and sporing making all kinds of shitty sounds come to think of it now they even do it now over speed bumps and potholes. Seeing as I dont wheel my p38 that hard (thats for the D1)its no big deal but im pretty sure after a year of driving on them if i were given the choice i would look into an option from rte or ome when replacing the shocks. I think these are the big blues for the p38 except they are not big nor blue and sag faster. Though they do when well seasoned with about 6000 miles give one the feeling of operating a magic carpet and by that I mean feeling of absolutely no connection between you and the road, and yes i have replaced my sway bar connects when they all broke. Im only going on this rant because if you are dumping money in bumpers and custom rte skids and all that stuff I wish I could someday afford, get some real suspention, hell have rte make you some custom then they can sell me a set for much less :rofl:

I would have the RTE Spings if I were rich, but the truth is I bought the StrutMaster's springs and conversion because it was what I could afford at the time, and I have been happy with them, they dont make any of the noise that you mentioned...... Maybe I have them bolted down tighter than you did, I dont know.... Since I have springs and a lift already I would rather spend money on protecting my car, once I have it all set then I'll go for better RTE springs:D

What shocks are you getting? you will also have to address the sway bar end links, either with disconnects or just longer end links. I just moved the brake/ABS line brackets/mounts or made spacers and got lots more length and wheel travel but i do not have swaybar disconects, I just used longer end links.

I'll be honest, I dont know much about what you just said, I know about disconnects, and RoverTym has talked to me about building a custom bar in the back so that I can really get teh back end to drop out, but my first concern is for getting brake lines.... And I am getting Rancho Shocks, RS5000's, I am growing fond of Rancho and they are offering stuff for Land Rover's, you just need to call them or stop by a 4wheelparts store and they will measure what you need and get you set up

I'm pretty sure the SS M-16 by Interco has been out longer than the KM2's, and I dont think they even attempted to copy them... These tires are too much like the bogger's..... I also saw someone mention thornbirds, those are cool but I have to compare them to the Pitbull Rocker tire which is my dream tire, I just need way more lift since I think they start at 35":D

this tire is just like the thornbird in that it is designed to look knarley from the side but have a very dense tread pattern with small voids to wear well on the street.

this is a show truck tire not a true off road tire.

I don't get why you think this is a show tire????? The bogger isn't a show tire, but the bogger is too crazy for me, I want something that would be great on road as well and these seem to be the perfect fit.... I'll tell you how the test goes when I take them into the woods! They seem to me as something that will do awesome off road

Is this tire company helping to support your website or something by pimping this brand/model?

You've been raving about how great they are, even wrote on Rovers North that they are the best offroad tire...yet you haven't even driven with them in a variety of offroad conditions/terrain to even offer a legit review of your opinion? Amatuer mistake at best.

With my awesome and radical psychic powers, I predict you will have close to 1000 posts shortly around your 1 month anniversary of being a Dweb member. I also predict that you will soon be posting about some other lame mod, like those awesome Rancho shocks you are getting, proclaiming them to be "bad ass."

I weep for the youth.
