Tyre sizes

#1

Post by Erin »

Since I'm too lazy (stupid) to google it, what size tyres can I fit to the 130?

I'm currently running 265/75/16s which is the widest I can go on my rims (actually slightly too wide to be honest). However, I'd like to go up to a 33" or 34" tyre (265/75/162 are roughly 32" IIRC).

235/85/16s are standard and as close a dammit to 32" as well, although a bit narrower than the current tyres, and I'm happy to look at something in that width as well.

Intended use is for overlanding so don't need a particularly aggressive tread, and would be happy with a light truck tyre as well. Load limit is important as the 130 can get close to 4,500kgs fully loaded.

...oh, and SWAMBO won't let me spend the kids' schools fees on tyres, so budget is a consideration.

I got 33' on my V8 . They did rub a little on articulation . So i fitted 40mm spacers ! But then you have to get longer shocks aswell!
