Thread: 235 v 245

Will fit without issues. will bring speedo slightly closer to correct (from under). Whats Tempes price? Check the dates on the tyres though, they often have stuff thats really old. Don't take anything thats more than 4-6 months old.

If it's a 245/70 you're going 1/2" bigger ... +1.9%

Shouldn't be a problem.

See here *Alloy Wheel & Tyre Size Calculator

I remember putting 235 Pirelli's on the green one and thinking-- SKINNY!!

I have had both 235 & 245 in BFG A/T's,found my speedo was spot on with 235,read marginally different than GPS with 245's.

BFG's also go hard over time,mine took about 6yrs,but they had done 80k,so still got a good run out of them,also never ever had a puncture,done some remote trips,two Cape trips,deserts,etc.

they were also badly cracked between the lugs.

Didn't notice any difference in vehicle handling etc,but you do notice the difference in looks.

The 235s are $300 each, the 245s are $285. I haven't tried locally yet. My speedo is correct with the 235/70s.

I have 245/70/16 BFG AT's on my D2. The speedo is 5km/h under actual speed. Drives fine. The car looks slightly beefier with the wider rubber.

got 245/75 KM2s after 235/70s BFGs on D2a. Some blunting of the thrust forward but the rolling advantage offroad is awesome. BTW more diameter means longer life eh. I tried to get 245/75 BFG ATs but told N/A. Guess you are talking about 245/70s?

I have 245 BFG A/T's on my D2. The difference in speed is not at all noticeable. It would be a max of about 1 km/h.

For that price, i would definitely go to the 245s. I was recommended them as they are a more common tyre. I noticed no loss of power or anything. Very happy with them
