    Biggest and best tires for Perentie 6" rims

    Ok, firstly I apologise for another tire thread. But what I'm asking I couldn't find an answer for.

    So my plan is, when the funds become available I'll be getting a set of Silverstone MT177 Extremes in 33x10.5 on 15" after market steel rims (you know the ones, 8 spoke, on just about every off road truck) for fun in the mud.

    Now with my green standard perentie rims I want to either take off the Olympics and keep them aside for resale reasons or get another set of 6.5" 130 rims. The tires I want to put back on the these rims will be used for travelling around the place (not a daily driver) and playing on the beach.

    So I think I'm going for some ATs as wide as I can fit, so maybe around 235-245? But the kicker is the price. They have to be way cheaper then my mud tires, maybe under 200?

    What are your thoughts? Let me know if I missed anything out.

    Pretty sure 255/85R16 is the biggest that will fit in the spare spot underneath.

    The other issue is performance on taller rubber. Are you planning a turbo?

    Yes for the turbo, but it's down the track a long way.

    255 probably won't be recommended on a 6 or 6.5 rim

    Maybe something in the size of 235/85R16 or 245/75R16 both of which should give about a 31" tire.

    235/85 should be fine - but you'll need to go tubed to be 100% legit on the tubed rims. Many run tubeless on tube rims but I personally wouldn't.

    I'm not even sure I have tubes at the moment. Is there an easy way to check without removing or deflating a tire?

    If you look at the valve stem you will be able to tell. Also if you're running perentie wheels with Olympic steeltreks then they're definitely tubed. If you look at the wheel it should have "tubed" printed on the rim as well.
