ye it was all done right, there is two conclusions: 1 either there is shit in the fuel line because it started stalling on idle just as i got to the top of ameys hillclimb...

[quote="mike_nofx"]Is that 300km corrected for big tyres? or 300km on odometer? assuming its odometer, 35's are 13% bigger diameter than 31's so its actually 339km you are getting. 80 litres for 339km is 23.5L/100km and thats about right i suppose.

the reason why i would like 13.5" wide tires. is because i want the toyo open country mt. these tires only come in 33x12.5 or 35x13... and im getting 35's.

i found out today these tires can be run on a minimum of 8.5" wide rim.. do king rims make them in this size?
