Thread: 32s or 33s?

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,

Planning on getting a set of 6 black 16 x 8 steels wheels at the same time.

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.

Cheers

I have got quotes for KM2's - $350 ad Baja MTZ's - $359.

Price is much the same, any opinions on these brands/tyres ?

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.
Half way round he was talking up BFG KM2's as many people had them and they seemed to be holding up well from his observations. This is surprising as his not big on BFG.
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.
