NDT Tyre Size!

[Archie 1962 FJ25]

Hi Guys,

Which military NDT tyre size would you recomend for FJ25 16x7.00 or 16x7.50?

when you go up in size it increases the height or width of the tyre?

Cheers!

Stock is 600-16 Archie.

I wouldn't go bigger than the 700-16 that's a 30" tire. Look at the actual manufacturer's diameters, but the old inch tire size was about a 100% aspect ratio: 7" + 16" + 7" = 30" The 750-16 would be a nice road tire though. Not sure what the later non-US spec was for the 16" rim.

Jim,

I will be mounting them on stock toyota fj40 16x5.5 rims. which I suppose are wider by 1 inch then stock 25 rims. and thats the only reason I am not considering 16x6.00 or 16x6.50. But not realy sure if stock 25 steering box will handle anything bigger then recomended tire size.

Go with the 750-16 then. If you're not going to use it to wheel, then the taller tire will be nice on the road, but on the trail that 2-3" over stock diameter doesn't leave you much "crawl". I think John #1 has 31's on his white 25.

I didn't think the later model 16" rims work because of the offset? Let us know. Oh, the steering will be fine.

I know alot of the purist are always looking for a stock size and or larger than stock tire with the stock look. this is a very close looking larger tire 8.25 x 15 = 32.6" tall tire

Dunlop makes a radial "traction tire" but its overseas only...they will NOT import
