Title: Autobox and big tyres
Post by: sardonicus 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.

I run 265/75/16's It's not super quick off the mark but does ok, it ain't gonna have sports car performance anyway.

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