Thread: Engineering big tyres on RRC

    Engineering big tyres on RRC

    My tyre supplier has informed me a 10% rise onhttp://www.mickeythompsontires.com.au/tyres/baja_mtz_radial.htm. 5pm is cut off.
    So have to make my mind up today

    Just wondering has anyone managed to get 12.5X35 Engineered on a RRC or Disco 1 in NSW. I have heard 33" is all they will allow although the engineer I'm talking to says 35s will be OK

    Thanks Tony

    I am pretty sure that 35's can be enigineered on a RRC in NSW. Dranged on here has them and is engineered.

    the fact is most things can get engineered but it still comes back to the RTA inspectors yes or no.

    first time I saw Mickey T's was on Matt's Rangie...


    ...they do look good ....


    But is there much of a muchness between 315 x 75 x 16 and 35 x 12.5 's besides the fact that 35 x 12.5 comes in 15 " not 16"'s?

    Hmmm, I measured a set in 315/75-16 last year, and I'm pretty sure they measured up at whatever the metric measurement of a 33" tyre was.

    My 35's are slightly under, not that far but, only around 1/2" short (story of a lifetime hey?) but thats normal for MT

    "Only" 34.5" hey

    I'd heard that re MT tyres before also, though a set of 37x13.5-15 Radial claws I had a while ago did measure true. Perhaps it was the only one in their range.... or my tape stretched.
