    Wheel and Tyre combo question

    Greetings Landroverphiles,
    I've got a set of 15" chrome rims given to me a while back to suit my series 3. They're fitted with stuffed 10.5 x 31 tyres, i'm thinking of replacing 'em with 10.5 x 32 tyres. Questions - 1. do they make that size? 2. who makes a fairly cheap variety of 'em (the olddog won't do more than 5000 ks a year) 3. whats a reasonable price and 4. will this combo cause any reliabilty problems? By the way the reason i'm going up a size is that the 31's have a smaller diameter than the standard 750 x 16, the trucks geared down enough as it is without more [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/laugh.gif[/img]
    Thanks

    Some brands make a33X10.5 X15. this is AFAIK the nearest to a 750x16 and gives better clearance.

    Hi Old dog
    32/11.5x15 should just go on a 7" rim,you will need an 8" rim for a 32/12.5x15 tyre.
    If you are doing low k's and short trips have a look at the remould/re tread tyres.No good for long trips,the heat build up kills them.
    You will probably need to adjust your front lock stops on the swivels to stop the tyres rubbing on your springs.
