    255/85s discontinued

    I was told today that maxxis bighorns have been discontinued in 255/85-16.
    The same may also have happened with BFG by the looks?
    What is everyone else fitting instead?

    The BFG KO2 is still available in that 255/85-16. I just fitted 235/85-16s and I love them.
    Cheers, Billy.

    While you are talking tyre sizes, is there a chart or info giving the rolling diameter of each size?
    I get confused on all these sizes . 7.50-16, 700-16, 205R-16, 237-75-16, etc etc. What diameter are they all as some people talk of 35,s 33,s etc as well.

    Diameter for example 255/85/16 is calculated by rim first, (16") convert that to mm, then add 85% of 255 twice. that will be the overall diameter.

    255 85 16s are a good size for those wanting a "close to original" size as the Hi-Milers on the RFSVs.

    Also a very useful size for turbo'd 4BD1s, gives them noticeably longer legs.

    I've just fitted BFG MT 235 85 16s to mine on tubeless rims, I bought them with the bonus ARB compressor (obviously not needed for the RFSV but useful anyway).

    - it is now a bit easier to climb into

    The old type imperial tyre sizes (7.50 etc) you just multiply by 2 and add the rim diameter.
    e.g. 7.50*2 = 15" + 16" = 31" diameter
    a 7.50 in P-Metric would be 191/100-16
    i.e 191 mm wide, 100% of that is also sidewall height

    Are you sure? They only ever did the KM2 in the past, and I can't find them on tirerack.com. Also, can't find either KM2 or KO2 in 255/85R16 on the BFG website, so looks like no more BFG MTs in that size either.
