Guys, I know that this is not exactly recommended, but there are serious issues getting tyres here in Namibia at the moment - I specifically want 265 MTs but they are like hen's teeth rare! So other sizes are being looked at. So why would 285 on 6.5 be a bad idea exactly?

The rim spec for a 285 is somewhere from a 7.5 to 9" .
You can stuff them on the rim but you may have some more tread wear in the middle and poss a little more sidewall flex while cornering .

shit all flows down hill and pools around your feet. The object is to
keep shovelling it away. If the shit is gaining you better figure out
how to shovel faster :-) Dave Stedman 03/20/09
the width is 285. the 75, 85 is a percentage of the width for the tyre hieght. So a 285 will all be same width but the ratio will change depending on rim size for the tyre hieght if you get what i mean?
