Thread: 18" v 19" v 20" tyre sticky patch size difference?

Will do the 285 60 18s when i get the car back... Will be interesting to see is people's perception of a thinner tyre being better is true.

I always thought the 285 might be a better match to the D4's weight, therefor allowing for more deflation without bulging or a better float so to speak. Only comparison i have is the LC200 which has the 285s from standard....

Assuming overall size has a bigger impact than rim diameter that is...

Definitely understand why people say a wider tyre creates more rolling resistance, but there has to be a crossover point somewhere for optimal deflation in sand..

Apart from the usual there is another risk introduced with wider tyres.

The wider a tyre for a specified rim the more the increased risk of pinching a deflated tyre sidewalk between the ground and rim edge.
