wheel size

[trapperman 474]

Hi all

 

ive got a y reg hilux with 205/80 r16 tyres

 

is it worth going to the expense of bigger wheels and tyres and do they make a huge difference, a friend of mine who is a farmer reckons that thinner tyres cut through to get more traction as with some tractor tyres?

 

i do some driving off road maybe 30% but nothing serious just tracks and fields

 

will bigger tyres make a big difference on milage

 

with the tyres i have i have only got stuck 2 times, i just like the look of big beefy tyres

 

any advise cheers

 

(forgot to say im asking this because i was offerd a set of i think they were 265/80 r16 with reasonable tyres for £300)

I'd go for a 235/85 x16 mud terrain. They will give a bit more height but are fairley narrow. I currently use Marshalls,I have some on my defender and are good across fields and tracks.

Ian.

if your only doing 30 percent off road then mt tyres will wear out quick..
