perentie 6x6 my new toy

Hi.
The down side to fitting the 32'' 33'' is that you use about 2 litres per 100 more fuel, than you will with the 750x16.
Also the handling on dirt is a lot better with the 750x16, & you don't have to alter the air pressure as much to get a better ride.
The only time I found the bigger tyre better is on wet tar.
Our 6x6 is nose down until you put a load on, then the ride is much better
especially on the dirt. Paul.

plenty of room for a bigger spare underneath too.:)

I suspect the 2 L/100 is more due to the speedo being more accurate with 33's.

Wider tyres being better on wet bitumen is counter intuitive.

Probably the wider tyre was better not because it was wider, but because ....

I have had narrow and wide tyres that suck in the wet, and then I have had narrow and wide tyres that performed well in the wet.

I can see some people modifying the suspension to allow larger wheels to be fitted.

Thats what I had to do to fit the 900-16 Mitchies to mine.

Hi, all done using a GPS. You only have to take the vehicle up to 100ks & push the clutch in to see how far it will roll with the 2 types of wheels & tyres.
I have done approximately 17,000 ks with the 32'' & 22,000ks with 750X16
& the 16'' in my opinion is a better set-up.
