Also consider that 245/70R17 is an easier size to source than the 255/65R17 when outside of a capital city. 265/70R17 even more so.

I didn't see your thread earlier, otherwise I would have given you my thoughts as I run the STMAXX on my disco. Now that you've had them fitted, you'll definitely have to come up for a run with us!
Gordon , Do you know if the 245/ 70r/ 17 tyres fit in the RRS spare wheel well , also if there would be any rubbing at stop block height ?? if one was unfourtinate enough to be at that height !! Thanks AlQuote:

Steve I noticed the same thing with my ST Maxx- around 1-1.5L/100 km more- I suspect it is a combination of both increased size and more aggressive tread. Regards, David
