235/85/16 V 750/16

[Xtremeteam]

looking at a set of play tyres.would love a set of 33's but after missing 2 sets last couple of weeks been looking at these http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=8028923777&rd=1&sspagename=STRK%3AMEWA%3AIT&rd=1

please discuss over the differances between 235/85's & 750's


yes i know they are remoulds its not a problem

[philbert]

mike only difference is the width 235 has a bigger footprint.
rolling radius is so close as not to make any difference

[Xtremeteam]

doin some quick sums only 44.5 mm wider,


hmm might still have to go for the 33's

[philbert]

depends on the manufacturer of your 33's.your 7.50s will be 31 or there abouts .
i had 31s but in reality they were only 30s my 235/85s are taller by a fair bit what ever you buy get your tape measure out first mate.

at the minute ££ wise its between those on the ebay link & these http://www.devon4x4.com/shop.php?mode=productview&product=186

HEHE NO WAY was this on the sunday after the sat night bevvy?

i dont think ill be doing much SLROC competitions this year,got a taste for something else specially now ive only got the 1 motor

[Xtremeteam]

hmm 4 of the recips come to 265, & as they are the same rolling size as 750's could use 1 of the old sats as a spare,think ive got a plan,


UNLESS some1 has some 33's that they want to sell

[philbert]

yep it was on the sabbath.ok i know its kind of busy under there with the oil kit and the eberspacher and all my other gubbins but how drunk would you have to be.

so you have only the one motor now welcome to the real world mike thats why ive been picking and choosing which events ive went to recently.after all the breakages and dnf's last year i cant afford to fix it all again.

anyhoo what are you upto now if your not competing??

My uncle has 7.50xcl on his 90 and they are way narrower and shorter than my bridgestone 235/85.  i also have 265/75 grizzlys which are taller than my 235/85 by only maybe an inch or less but are very wide.
