Title: biggest tyres i can fit on a standard 90 300tdi
Post by: flash42 on May 14, 2008, 21:50:17

looking to be replacing my tyres soon.
maybe looking at anacondas or insa turbo special traks, and was wondering what are the biggest tyres i can get without a lift or damaging the truck.

probably something like 265 75 16, but in my opinion they look too big without a lift.
