[ROVERNET - UK] P6 Tires

[geffandjulie]

Kleber?  I have 185s also, no problem.  I did manage to reattach the rear 
control arms backwards and was mystified as to the chafing...
I think the 2000 had straight arms, the 3500 has bent ones for more tire 
clearance. Worked fine...after I reversed them.
