Gen 3 Tyre Sizes - Sorry In Advance

Also important with larger tire size is the gearing. more than 215 will affect the performance. Next step 235 tires on a 80hp m13a with original gears is very boring, i know, i been there. And your low range is less useful as well so no apperent improvement other than the looks.

Stay with the 215 until you can change the gears.

 
Thanks Yakuza,

I will definitely stick with the 215’s for now. I’m sure the 215’s with a 2” lift will be more than enough for what I want to do with it.

Thanks,
Chris.

This is a good site if you want to compare sizes

tiresize.com/tyre-size-calculator/

It's in the US, but don't let that put you off.

Thanks, that's a really cool tool... Just had a play, nice to see the wheel sizes that each tyre size fits. Makes life much easier..

Don't put too much faith in the online calculator things for wheel width information. Unfortunately most of these use the basic requirements of a car tyre of usually less than 50pc aspect ratio. 4x4 tyres are designed to run on a narrower wheel as a general rule. Legally each manufacturer is supposed to provide a set of minimum and maximum wheel widths for each model and size of tyre they produce but they often hide this information deep in their website. There is a national or international body that collate this information but I cannot remember what it is called or even if it is trade only.
