Title: Truck / Lorry Tyres
Post by: jay140285 on May 07, 2013, 12:32:51 PM
Gents,

Current tyres are imperial 8.5 R 17.5.

What is the metric equlivant, I have tried tyre calculators not to much luck.

Am I right is saying it is 215 75 17.5?

Cheers

J.

width x profile = 215mm/25.4 x 0.75 = 6.35"

for a 75 profile tyre you'd need a width of 8.5/.75 x 25.4 = 285

What metric sizes are available for 17.5" wheels?

what is with some mods - you arrive at birtys with a sense of irreverance, then get bestowed a shiny badge (& havent got the brains to say 'thanks but no thanks') and turn into self important frickin hall monitors  :hysterical:

This club relies on the members who are prepared to give as well as take to ensure that it works for everyone's benefit.

I find your comment quite offensive even if it was said in jest.

It's been said before but it looks like I'm going to have to say it again:

If anyone doesn't like the way this club is run then they're free to leave. No one's holding a gun to anyone's heads

I will say one thing though: good luck finding another club where so much bollox is tolerated that is likely to last more than five minutes.

I do find the ramblings quite entertaining at times but they really shouldn't be in Tech.

FFS dood what the fuck are you on about :hysterical:

Paranoia? Ego? Summink at the v least seein as ya woud have to b a dumbass not to see my jest was aimed at CB, who I judge man enuff to take it, same as he judged me man enuff to take his 'utter shite' comment

Feel free to kick me out if thats what ya think needs doin but ya gonna b waitin for frickin ever to see me kiss ass coz ya playin sheriff

And the do as ya told or leave is gettin a bit  :015:

Too many good birtys gettin left behind due to not conformin - v unbirtys :011:

I dont give a fuck wot irreverence doods post in my threads, & im fucked if I can see why u woud post on birtys if you were gonna b precious about it :017:

That bein said I agree with James and generally stay clear of postin in tech, even such cuttin edge tech stuff like where do i buy a tyre, but I slipped up coz it was friday  :icon_jook: and my comrade iom slipped out the closet which is tantamount to goading me

So James - point well made (& delivered) & taken

You don't half whinge like a slapped kid sometimes.

I'm not talking about the derailment of the thread, I'm used to that and although its gets a bit tiresome on occasions its part of the scenery around here, for better or worse.

Its the digs at the folks who are prepared give up some time to help run the club that get boring.  Maybe its your nature to see any form of structure or authority as 'the man' and to kick against it.  it's fine if you don't want to get involved but for fuck sake some of us do and I really wonder why sometimes.
