Re: Tyre sizes: differences by brand/manufacturer.
Had to check on the web, cause I didnt believe it at first that they put such small wheels on a Patrol: The new pickup got 265/70r16 (31") and the 4.8 wagon got 275/65r17 (31"), 3.0 wagon also got 265/70r16. Shocking.
Always thought that they bring them out with 32" tyres.
The 4.2 pickup came out with 235/85r16 (32"). afaik
Would be interresting to see how much difference there would be from a 33" to a 34.5" tyre.
With regards to performance and fuel consumption: a 35x10.5 would be better....
I got another 3 years or so of life left on the 4.5's st maxxs, before having to replace tyres... But looking at the cost of 315's It is very unlikely that I would be able to afford them.
Might just slap another set of 255/85's on.
Toyo Open Country MT 255/85r16's are 33.5" tall

Re: Tyre sizes: differences by brand/manufacturer.
Are those Toyo's available here in SA. They have some nice size variations the other guys don't have. I see they have a 33x10.5x15. I am nearly inclined to go for that as apposed to the 33x12.5 I presently have on my Sani. They would better suite my 8J rims.

Minty's sells them in SA. Have not phoned them yet, but they don't respond to emails...davidvdm wrote:Are those Toyo's available here in SA.

BFG also make that size. Would be interesting to see how BFG vs Toyo prices compares.

I think, they think we are going to stay in there grasp of wondrous information for longer, and by so doing stand a longer chance of selling us something...Peter Connan wrote:Why do people only ever answer one question on an e-mail?
Hate it with a passion. If I wanted to go fishing, I'd be sitting next to a river somewhere. Give me my info so I can move on.
