Works quite well. Tims quite close to the actual 318/72R15 with his answer.

The size is 285 85 16 so anyone know how this would compare to the 33 x 12.5 that I currently have ???

Post by: muddyweb on November 18, 2004, 08:50:54: They are more like a 35x11R16, so a good bit taller than the 33s

Post by: fesuvious on November 18, 2004, 09:06:06: thankyou so much.

I had been looking at getting some 35's and the width of the 12.5 was doing my head in !!!

Thats just the answer I was hoping for !!!

They are on a lifted (too much) classic range at the min so they should go straight on my mk1 disco.

Thanks

A friend has recently fitted a set of grizzly claws on a Rangie and on the road they are as rough as a bear's bum!
