235/70x16 vs 235/85x16

[Thomas-the-Terrano2]

I reckon difference overall on diameter is less than 3"
at around 29.2" vs 32"

so will they fit, or better chance of fitting as will atleast
be same width just taller.

would give me a lot more choice in mud tread department
like the tasty cooper stt.

thinking if ran with lower pressure wouldnt be as tall though
useless part of tyre above road would still need to be housed?

perhaps front flaps off, and even a bit of reasonable upgearing
though not too much to upset towing.

hey dont often look to bigger treads....!

but did think would fit standard rims etc

32" wont fit a standard terrano.

think 31" at's is max. Im on 30" kl71 muds and they are close.

project body lift and project side steps first then

i did suspect that, but hoped keeping same width
might have helped.

They will be 31.7" to be precise.

And I bet Fez's KL71s are closer to 31" if you reckon that the measurement is looking at sidewall ratios and probably not to the very edge of the very chunky tread pattern?

My 31s rub a bit on the wheel arch seam....you can flatten it out with a hammer if your minded but then your breaking paint and underseal in the process....

Why don't you just stick with the standard tyre size and go for a more aggressive tread?

thanks, yes will be doing as truck is only off road tiny part of its time, its just that
getting away from 235/70x16 get more choice of tread.

still some good treads available, hence my tyre spec thread.
