Thread: NEW AT TYRES FOR D2 - ANYONE KNOW OF LT IN 70 PROFILE?

I have a set of coopers STT's 235/85/16 would anyone know if they would fit on D2?

Yes they will fine mate- just over/one 30 inch (in fact a smaller than my my 265/70/16).

I ended up not being able to get the Grabbers as soon as I would like - in fact they are out of that size until April. So I am getting 235/75/16 Maxxis 751 Bravos....meant to me a great tyre. 3 Ply sidewall and 10 ply tread in the LT.

Cheers

So far the Maxxis are magic. The fact that they are a smaller footprint does not seem to make the truck handle any less well compared to the Pirelli's. They remind me very much, in the tread structure of the Michy XPCs that came on it when new, save that these are 245/75/16 (with 10 ply tread, 3 ply sidewalls, and 120 load rating...!).

I drove home the other day in torrential rain in Brisbane and at 60kph hitting 6-8 inches of water they cut through and didnt tug the wheel out of my hand...the Pirellis' big problem. They also dont tend to tram track. Cant wait to tow the boat - actually looking forward to sticking 2 tonn on the back end again. New shocks (Dobinsons) new Raw (big bore) steering dampener and new LT tyres...good combo I reckon.

The Maxxis dont look as aggressive as many ATs, like Pirelli Scorp AT, Generals Grabber AT2, or BFG, but my bet is that they will equip themselves well in the dry off road (I have had them on high speed dirt and corrugations already and they are much better than the Pirelli's which surprised me). The truck should still be a weapon in sand, because the OD is still the same, and it is the longitudinal footprint that is most important.

Cheers all.
