285/75/16 Tyre height

[virgo]

Hi,

I'm doing a 4" lift (2" suspension done, 2" body in progress..) and I'm looking for a set of 33" tyres that will fit on the 16" alloys that I have.

I'm finding it hard to come across a set of a/t tyres in this size.

Has anyone got a set of 285/75/16 tyres fitted? and how tall are they in inches?

Thanks,

Amit

I found this to help:

http://www.procomptires.com/conversionchart.htm

which shows that 285/75/16 will get me to 32.8 inches, which i guess is close enough....

So next question is can anyone recommend a good set of a/t tyres on this size?

Bfg do a 33x12.5x15 so might do a 16


ther is a tyre place at Michael Delver.(Spelling?) hampshire that does them

I have a set of BF Goodridge 33x12.5x16 MTs which were £125 each and are awsome off road and allmost no noise on the road. I do over 300 miles a week on them and have done for a year now. They are about half worn.

you sure it's not www.uptotheaxles.com

evidently...

Anyway... it's the Greenway Machos that are available for 16" wheel, and 33" diameter. Those Kumhos look sexy though...

I can't find a set of a/t in the right size on that site

Have a look here, not bad prices on some brands.

Bronco 4x4 are doing grizzly claws for £89 a corner very good tyres if you fancy a M/T rather than A/T

Actually i have seen those, but I'm guessing they won't be that great on wet roads. I'm not likely to go offroad in the Surf - sadly

[virgo]

Well unless someone can vouch for m/t's having the same type of handling on road as a/t's?

So anyone running large m/t's and see much of a difference on wet roads?

That may well be an understatement, my mate has them on his landy and they're OK on that, but they're a touch on the noisy side.

Greenway macho's at £62 a corner here http://www.sowdentyres.co.uk/greenway-tyres.html

other than that for a proper a/t all i could find sensibly priced were general grabber a/t2 for around £100 a corner, cooper st at about 110 and kumho venture at about the same

the general grabber at2 here:

http://www.wgtyres.com/product_info....8d4dbc12c366f1

seem fairly priced. Do you think they look okay?
