get 265/75/16 mate, its only a bit taller, fits stock an looks great!

Would love to as there are more "knobbly" tyres in this size, but wont my speedo read slower than actual speed?

Like them a lot, but cant find 265/70 16's..........Is there an imperial equivalent?

So 31x10.5x16? Is there such a size?

with my old 31's on my speedo was out by 4 to 7 mph depending on the speed according to the sat nav but since having the 33's on the speedo is only 1 to 2 mph below the sat nav at higher speeds. so at 70mph on satnav my speedo was reading about 68-69 mph

So which is true?
1/ Bigger tyres=Lower reading on speedo than actual speed
2/ Smaller tyres=Lower reading on speedo than actual speed

Would have thought #1, but correct me if wrong

i would of thought aswell but i aint got a clue really.i never got caught by any camers driving to Hampshire a couple of weeks ago so it must be fairly accurate

yeah its the smaller wheels that will give a speed reading that is higher than it is as the wheels will be turning more to cover the same distance , so if you put bigger tyres on then in theory it will be reading a lower speed than you are actually doing, but if you are only increasing the size of the tyre by and inch or so than to be honest it wont really make that much difference.

most speedos on cars read a few mph under what you are actually doing as they have to take into account the fact that as your tyres wear out you are in theory decreasing the overall size of your wheels as the tread is getting smaller, and so changing the accuracy of the reading on the clocks

the difference is negligible mate, in theory it'll read 2.31 MPH slow at 70 MPH

Another vote for the Colways. I fitted mine a couple months back, and I'm very happy with them. I paid £195 delivered from Sowden tyres, then £47 for fitting from local tyre shop.

Had the Colway At's on my 2.4 pickup, before i changed to the Surf,and never had any issues with them. Found them relativly quiet on tarmac too
