Confused about tyre size

[BUSHWHACKER]

Yeah they will fit.

Cheers Vince. Christ my head hurts.
Now all I need is to get the bank manager $$$$ed..........
What d'you think B F G A/Ts or General Grabbers?

[BUSHWHACKER]

I've had these fitted for nearly two years now with no problems. Some people are put off by the word "remould" but it's a new technology now and are safer than they were years ago. Plus They only cost £180 for 4 tyres delivered.

I can't comment on the other tyres 'cos I've never used them. Another popular tyre with other forum members is Kuhmo.

i have never liked remoulds but i tried those tyres aswell and found they perfect in all conditions but got mine from www.4x4accessoriesandtyres.co.uk

I still say 6" rim is too narrow for a 10.5" tyre to fit 'as designed' .
Hows your headache now ?

[Spoggle]

So if 10.5 may be too wide for my rims, what is the best option in size? Got 215/80X15 on at the moment but would like something with a bit more meat. And thanks for asking, but my head still hurts.

31/10.5/15 on 6" steel rims.

Stop picking on him!!

They'll fit, and they'll work just fine. I guarrentee it. No one should have to put up with 215 tyres.

The pic I posted originally, and Vince reposted above is exactly the same size wheels as you have wearing a set of 31" M/T's.

Heres cleaner pic....

[BUSHWHACKER]

He will still be none the wiser!

I use this chart to compare metric and imperial tyres and recommended rim size .

Yeah, its the best one I've found that saves you having to workout how far out your speedo is with larger tyres, as long as you know what size tyre your truck came out the factory with.

Saves a lot of complicated math!!

And their little pop up about 3% max over size tyre may cause brake failure always make me laugh as well!!! Thats funny, apparently my pickup on 35's is 20% oversize.

[Spoggle]

Well what more can I say. I'm gonna do it, $$$$ or bust, as they say. .Wonder what the tyre fitter will say. .

Will keep you posted.
