    Dunno, haven't asked. He may not do them for the price I can get them but you'll save.

    Shop around first, you may get what you want for the price

    Ok, you've heard the saying "Oils ain't oils"

    Well, tyre plys arent tyre plies.... :wink:

    the 265-75-16 FCII is a 10 ply rated tyre, has much thicker ply cords than the BFG, Cooper etc.. and has the highest load rating in its class.

    They are extremely strong.

    Can I make a suggestion to you, for the sake of a quick 5 minute phone call you should ring my mate Darren.

    He's a no-bull bloke, will tell you the truth about tyres in all brands, not just the ones he sells (he has access to coopers and BFGs too). He'll explain the construction differences of each brand and the performance on a 4wd.

    He's built a fantastic reputation in Adelaide for his enthusiast approach to 4wd tyres, asking lots of questions before recommending a tyre to suit.

    His company details are: Total Traction tyres Ph: 08-8186 1011

    He will be more than happy to just chat, even if theres no sale in it.

    Tell him your mate, Mike Hayes sent you!

    Cheers
    Mike

    Question

    Bringing an old thread back to life...

    I've got a '96 Def110 Wgn (currently running 235/85/16 on OEM alloys) and a '09 Def110 Wgn (currently running 265/75/16 on OEM alloys) but with an inner guard tank installed.

    It's now coming up to time to think about tyre replacement & I would like a taller tyre if possible that I can use on both Def's. The problem I have with the Puma is that with the inner tank installed and running the factory Alloys, I'm concerned that a taller tyre on the OEM alloy rim will under upward flex in the rear that it might well hit on the bung that comes standard with these inner guard tanks. This bung I assume is to be used on conjunction to fill a Aux Sill fuel tank from the one original Fuel filling point. I certainly don't want to be damaging this bung on my Inner guard tank. I know that a different offset rim would solve this but at this point in time I don't want to go down that path...

    I've recently come across a tyre size of 225/95/16 which equates to a 33" tyre. This sounds like it might be worth looking into so I was wondering if others have had any experience with this size tyre? I know the availability of this size is limited but I'm still interested to find out more info on this option...

    Going up to a 255/85 would be the ultimate but again I think that using this tyre on the factory alloys would definitely rub on that bung...

    comments/thoughts??
