How did you work them out as 31.5"? I think you'll find it's a smidge under 30.5"?

This is an online size convertor / calculator I have used in the past.
I hope this helps people.

Sorry 245/70.....

Nah, actually sit higher than standard road tyres. Not too many AT's that are exact to factory size. Fits nicely under the wheel arch.

That sounds better!

They would be a very close match to the factory size indeed!
