Post by: charger on October 24, 2008, 08:43:49 AM
There isn't a whole load of AT tyres available for the grand cherry?

Guess its down to the old supply and demand.Probably not much call for them as most 4x4s that are popular offroaders run on 15 or 16 inch rims

235-65 17

cheers, I have found some e.g kumho but it seems non of the main brands do AT in this size.

Loads of tyres out there, hardly any ATs  :roll:

I would guess that it's not a typical 4x4 size as the 65 profile is fairly low profile for a 4x4 that's going to be used offroad

You could go up to a 245/70/17 which is about an inch taller and half an inch wider but you would have to check for rubbing and may have a change in acceleration and towing grunt because of the effect on gearing. This size seems to be standard for newer pickups like the Navara.

P.S. Nothing wrong with Kumho
