Another tyre thread..

Ok, so, according to that calculator, the difference between 235/70/16 and 245/70/16 is 1.87% diameter, and -1.9% on the speedo

Is there any real benefit to getting 245/70/16 over the standard 235/70/16??

cheers

Depending on the tyre you could see quite a difference in actual width at the shoulder. BFG's and Bridgestone D694's have a very squared shoulder while others like the silverstone's mentioned have a rounded shoulder
