Tyres: Imperial v Metric
« on: April 21, 2013, 10:10:50 PM »

I need to find a set of tyres for the J10 as the buyer doesnt want the 35's, so can anyone tell me what sizes I can look for in metric that will cover the 31 - 33" spectrum?

I cant really go bigger than that as the rims I have are 15x8.

Much appreciated

Ade,

33 x 10.50 x 15 = 270/85/15 (nearest whole numbers)
31 x 10.50 x 15 = 270/75/15 (nearest whole numbers)

Hope this helps

You're more likely to find 16" tyres in metric speak - 285/75/16 are 33" (11.2" wide) or 265/75/16 are 32".

Yeah but they won't fit on a 15" rim :icon_biggrin:
