Go for 255/85/R16 KM2. Only slight steering lock stops adjustment needed.
No other issues than that, nicer than the 235's. Diesels Lives Matter. ⛽️🛢️👨🔧🧰⚙️ Red, White & Boost! 🇬🇧 |

Thanks for the reply, why 255 rather than 235? Stops aren't a problem as we have 30mm spacers on.

Why muds rather than AT's for Morocco? JB

Well, apart from big trips ( Portugal/Morocco ect) most off road we do here & it's mainly mud thanks to our great weather. Do you still think all terrains?

Fair enough - the pistes in Morocco are firm enough for any tire. Tyre pressures are perhaps a more significant factor. JB

We are leaving Birmingham on the 27th of October so the weather in Morocco might be on the change? Have you done Morocco much? Any advice gladly received!

Had a fab time there. I took ATs - but Mts are fine as long as you air down enough.
It's a mix of crappy tarmac, rocky pistes and sand. Side walls and construction are perhaps more important than tread? Personally I'd take ATs. JB @Lodelaner Instagram Youtube greenlaning and other LR related content |

255 will,have a wider footprint on soft ground and won't dig in as much. Plus a better ride. Diesels Lives Matter. ⛽️🛢️👨🔧🧰⚙️

I'd leave your 5mm GY MTRs on.
When you see the regular cars, vans and motorhomes zooming around you realise that you can overthink Morocco! JB @Lodelaner Instagram Youtube greenlaning and other LR related content |

I would tend to agree about using 255/85/16 if you can get them.
The extra height under the diffs is appreciable when off road- I also appreciate the slight increase in gearing...... Chris |

So 255/85r16 on standard boost rims with 30mm spacers will work ok?

Yes, i don't see any problem with that.
You don't really even need any spacers, if you adjust the lock stops as I don't run spacers. But I don't see any problem Diesels Lives Matter. ⛽️🛢️👨🔧🧰⚙️ Red, White & Boost! 🇬🇧 |

All sounding good, what about rubbing on full articulation without a suspension lift?

There should be no rubbing, I'm running standard springs with spring isolators.
