Tyres - again!

<< < (2/2)

Eeyore:
To be honest, the 235s on Wolfs (I run BFG MTs in this combination) shouldn't give you too much trouble in most situations.

With the Wolf rim being a 7" rim (IIRC) it'll be worth checking to see if the tyre manufacturer recommends the 265 (and the 255 for that matter) on that rim width). Some will, some won't.

The 255/85 mentioend above, is a fairly tall tyre, standing another 1.75" (approx) taller than the 235/85. Not everyone does a 255/85, but they aren't a lot more than the 235 if you decide it's the way forward.

Cheers

Used to run 255/85x16 BFG MTs on my 90 ...... with a 1.5" lift (BM blue springs) .... was well cool. Could've done with cones on the back, but used jubilee clips to hold the top of the springs in place.
