Tyre Sizes - Rough Guide Thread

Good memory Jack. The Kaimans in 205/70/15 are the same size as my current 215/75/15.

Surprisingly good even in the wet. I have always used this tyre on all my 4x4's over the years and never found anything better off road. The down side is they sound like a old prop plane taking off over 30 mph.

Alan 1066boy had kiamens in standard size before the grabbers I'm sure they're around 700 tall

What are these like on the road? And what are they called?

No eBay APP ID and/or Cert ID defined in Kunena configurationnot to good on wet roads
but you soon get used to them
tyre noise is like a swarm bees a big swarm of bees
i paid 50 a tyre fitted and balanced on five from here but it's not far from me

Had them on my Lada Niva before I fitted the Kaimans. Good off road but in time the flint around here cut them and I had to super glue the blocks down for the MOT.

i have 5 deep dish 16" GV steels ounce i get round to painting them these are gone
but new tyre choice is killing me 205/80/16,225/75/16,215/80/16 or try squeezing 750/16 under there :side: :pinch: :S

Jack

Have you done the maths to see what will work?

eerm no lol 29"205/80 a little more for the225's <1/2"
i don't want to buy twice the 215/80 around 30" is what i'd like
and 750<or> 32" will need trimming i'm sure
will be buying new NO re treads this time
add: 30/9.5/15 29"
but i do like the 70's pram look :laugh:

215/80/16 will give you 29.5 high and 8.5" wide. 30/9.5/16 will be the same height but and inch wider.

Guys I still can't make my mind up I have decided on all terrain tyres (remoulds) but I don't know if I should go for 195/80 or 205/70 is there much difference? I know they are both roughly the same height but will the width help with the off-roading?

I'd go with 195's will be an inch taller fill the arches nice
no difference off road
