Autobox and big tyres
« on: September 23, 2009, 22:18:25 »
Was wondering if a diesel autobox can handle bigger tyres ...   Does anyone run 265/75/16's or 31 15's on their auto discos and how does it pull ?    still not got used to the high revs on the box with normal tyres when pulling away.
Thanks.

Friend of mine has a 300TDI auto with 35/12.5R15 Muds on it, it pulls fine, just a little slower thats all.
