Bigger Tires Posted by John B. on December 13, 1998 at 15:43:03: In Reply to: Re: 225/75R16 The Key.... 235/85R16 too tall, will effect on road performance and .... posted by LOKBOX on December 11, 1998 at 23:14:06: The 215/85/16 and 245/75/16 are the same diameter and will change gearing by about 5%. The 215s usually clear and the 245s just barely hit the bottom of the rear fenderwell at full wheel compression on a Disco. The trimming is very small and not noticable. 235/85/16 and 265/75/16 change gearing about 10% and require more trimming. Good information on John Brabyn's home page. http://home.earthlink.net/~cyberkiwi/rangerover/ |
