Tall skinny tires

[janyyc]

Those tires are absolute sh*t unfortunately. The rims are great, but those Dunlops…

Ali, the 2008 HZJ76

Predictably and as usual, I am somewhat behind in my musings. Following the previously described trip in December 2022, the next adventure with Ali in the Middle East - and likely to be the last before bringing the vehicle to Canada - took place in February 2023. The original plan was to drive...

@janyyc, I’ll take note of that. I don’t plan to extensively use those tires BTW.

Rims was the reason why I get this deal.

What tires did you replace the Dunlops with? Did you go to a 235/85R16 size or something different?

I’m following this thread since the beginning and I participated it to. However, I may had lost some part so I don’t recall seeing this (but it’s possible).

I have probably acquired what could be the ultimate pizza cutter.

225/95R16 (with 16x6 5x150 rims !)

I might try theme on my 100, but the tires may most likely ended on my M101 cdn trailer or on my 40.

This is the least sexy thing I did to my 100.

Still, the steelies look good

Looks very utilitarian now. The wheels suit it nicely

Spare 8.25r16 xzl on split rim beside a 35x12.5r17 toyo ct on fjc steel wheel. Both at 32psi. The michelin has more wear.

That would be an XZL, not XML. Could you measure the diameter, tread width and total width of the Michelin?

right you are. I'll grab the measurements tomorrow

 

[BC40]

Quick measurements with 50-60% tread I get 33 3/8" tall, 7" tread, 9 1/16" total width.

I got the wheels , grey steelies from 79 series. I just need the tires

The Dunlop SP Road Gripper F seems like a better option for an all terrain

I have a few sets of these new take off from 79 series:

I have the 2 piece split wheel with the retainer ring.

What you have is even cooler in my opinion.

I had the option for split rims too but they are tougher to work with in my personal opinion so took these instead. TPMS sensors too!

Came across this guy on the weekend, factory 70 series wheels and tyres, 225/95R16

 

[Txfireman]

Do 39×12.50s count as "tall skinnies"... asking for a friend
Kanati Mud Hogs. 39/12.50/17 -vs- 35/10.50/15

Love your 79-83 grill! Broke my brain for a second.
