Thanks chaps, I wasn't going to go into the nitty gritty as it can be confusing.
Don't for get the R stands for Radial Ply construction which is pretty much standard on car tyres but not always so on Light truck or Four wheel drive tyres especially considering the massive influx of cheaper import tyres.
As a matter of interest has anyone yet created a tyre age/date of manufacture reference on AULRO?
Especially considering purchase of second hand tyres seems to be more popular these days.
Plenty of sites on the interwebby thing:Quote:

Has anyone checked clearance on 750/16's? There are references to these as factory fitment. Essentially the same diameter as the 235/85R16's but skinnier.
I have run 205R16 casings with 20mm tall retread blocks and also had no clearance issues. My standard fare is 225/75R16 as I can wrap snow chains around them without issues. 235/70R16 is the same size but are thinner P (passenger) casings, 225/75 can be LT (light truck) casings which are far tougher.
I run the 7.50s full time.Quote:

Mine occasionally catch the very lower front corner of the front guards too when playing off road but just momentary when turning cross axled.
