    Series tyre sizes.

    A question from the brother.

    On the standard series rim that normally has the 750R16 tyres on, what larger sizes can be run on the series 3???

    I Run 235/85 r16LT on my standard 2a 88 rims, Currently using Dunlop MT2s, they work an absolute treat in the mud, not too bad in the wet either

    Would have to check tyre and rim association manual, but i think on a standard 6 inch rim you can go out to 235 but id suggest that is the absolute maximum legal width - id be more inclined to go no wider than a 7.50r16 especially in a 16x5.5 rim

    Adam, MT2s were about $250 a pop, made a huge difference to ability of the vehicle, and can swap them between the 2 series vehicles I have. They are fitted on 16 x 5.5 rims with no problems. I run them at 17psi, also haven't had a problem, thinking about going lower (they are a LT rated tyre, and the Landys aren't that heavy or fast [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/biggrin.gif[/img] ) I spend most of my time off road in the s2a shorty they are on at the moment.

    I wouldn't change the tyre size myself, but the brother was thinking about it. In the end, finance is doing him in. He was going to go for a set of the sime Konvoys like incisor, but not sure what he is doing at the moment. He isn't the best with money :roll:
