Which size is best

(1/3) > >>

smith335:
looking at changing my tires on my disco.
the ones on now are 255/65/16
should i stick to this size or go for 235/70/16.

what are the pros and cons of thiner or fatter tires.
do fatter tires handle the road better?
do thiner tires have less drag and help improve mpg?

the only pro i can see for going to 235/70/16 is that they do the bfg ats in that size.
any comments?
cheers

Range Rover Blues:
Fat tyres float on mud
Fat tyres are over-tyred for the rims and will not turn-in as well on the road
fat tyres cost too much

smith335:
so better going for the 235/70/16 then?

beatmasterdave:
Fat tyres:
look really cool
cost a lot but worth it
dont turn aswell but worth it

haha
ive got 235/70R16 bfgmuds, they are great! really impressive on and offroad. the biggest tyre for the standard disco aparently. iv'e already bigged them up tonight hahah, check out the other thread called tyres.

im keeping the tyres and suspension as it is untill i get enough for the big wheel conversion with lift and 35X12.50 tyres. i do like wide tyres

smith335:
my disco is bog standard and it came with the 255/65/16 on.
it is a td5 so not sure if that makes a difference.

fancy some new BFGs ATs in 235/70/16
would i notice much differance going to the smaller size?

if i stick to the 255/65/16 i cant get the BFGs only general AT2s
 what should i do?
