What tyre size and from where????

[Smego2]

No they are not their an inch taller, standard is 265/70R16....

I have been advised they should fit though.

How do you tell what the overall diameter of the tyre is?

the best way is to go on a tyre companys website and get there details

99.99% of the time a tyre is NEVER the size listed. a 33" BFG mud is 32.8" tall when fitted to a 10" wide rim.
an Interco TSL is 33.7" tall when fitted to a 10" rim

Also, a bfg 35" mud is 34.8" So its not that much bigger then a TSL 33"

food for thought

just been to look at mine yep duff info from me mine are 265/70/16

bear in mind that only reads as 0.5" around the whole tyre. they will be bigger but dont expect to be shocked at there size mate.

I am hoping the extra inch will be small enough to ensure they don't rub at max articalation...

Thats the standard size for 3rd gens.
I went up to 285/75/16 with mine.
(thats 32.8 x 8.4 x 11.2)

ok, might have wires crossed mate.

a 285/75/16 is 32.83" tall. an so i guess on a 15" rim you will lose an inch off that total

Those tyre sizes are the only ones affected by rim size. eg. 265/70/16 will be bigger then 265/70/15.

but a 33x12.50 or 35x15.00 per example will be the same size no matter what rim diameter.

Mud Skipper,

Sorry mate, i read your post wrong!

I see you put 285/70/16 - i was thinking 285/75/16!

I dont believe a 285/70/16 is available.

It shouldn't be a problem. Ive been running 265/75/16 on my 2nd gen - 1st at standard height and it wasnt a problem at all.

with a 2" lift and 30mm spacers they rubbed on full lock for me. now with a 5" front lift - the poor s0ds look lost!!

Measure height of tyre and wheel combined

Sorry badly explained if i want to buy a 31" tyre how would i know it's a 31" trye

[marky]

31x10.5x15

[Tiger]

31x10.5x15

How does that relate when on the tyres its got 265/75/16

[Tiger]

The calculator works well, would just like to understand it

[nero279]

265 is the width of the tyre in mm.

75 is the height of the sidewall as a percentage of the tyre width

16 is the size of the hole in the middle in inches (the size wheel it fits)


any clearer?

[SURFerRob]

ie;

265/75R15

to work it out...

265 (mm) X 75% X 2 = 397.5 mm
rim is 15 inches (381mm)

OVERALL DIAMETER or Height is 778.5mm (30.65")
