I think you might find it's the other way around on the charts, (from memory about 5mm taller for the 762) but probably well within manufacturing tolerances in the real world.Quote:

Rick130 - there you go, my lesson for the day. BFG's Aust and US website doesn't quote rolling circumference.
5mm could be evened out by a weekend crawling up rocks.http://www.aulro.com/afvb/images/smilies/ohmy.gif
cheers MLD
Circumference is the easiest way to measure diameter if you have a tape, just divide by pi.
Thanks MLD,Quote:

Going to use them just for trips and the SVX wheel and GG's for road use and around town.
I do agree that a 265 is max width on a 7" rim.

The only feed back I have is a mate has just done a lap of Aus towing a trailer with MT MTZ's, he just replaced them with the same.Quote:

I have driven a lot with a Defer mate who runs Maxxis Bighorns, they have done all my XZL's have, but haven't worn like mine, and are far cheaper.
that's all I know.
PS, I use the Explore Aus tyre calculator to work out tyre size.
Hi Jeff I have been running BFG 33 x 10.5's Muddies on my truck over 10 years now. Bit taller but not too wide I have found them to be a good all round tyre. Ive been on the beach, in the desert, through mud and over rocks. I run them in the bush at 20psi and have very little issues. OK milliage and very few flat tyres. I have a V8 County 4.4 Ltr EFI so I have horse power to burn but I did notice a difference with the old 7.50 16's. Looks realy stupid now after the 33's for so long and I wont be going back.

Hi all
I am currently looking at getting a set of Dynamic 16 x 8 with 25mm offset rims and a set of Mickey Thompson MTZ's in 285/75/16's for my 1998 300TDi 130.
I have always had BFG's either mud terrains (on my previous Range Rover 35") and currently all terrains on the 130 (standard 235/85 16) . So why the change to MTZ's? I am not keen on the BFG KM2 pattern. I prefer the old style BFG mud terrain pattern but it is now unavailable (be happy to be told different!)
The only issue at the moment? I have only 40mm clearance between the roof of the truck and my garage roller door and I hope the change in size up to 285's means I can still fit the truck into the garage.
And....I will be looking at swapping bonnets - one without the spare wheel carrier as there is no way I will be putting a 285/75 tyre on the bonnet!
Cheers
Andrew
