33'x15 or 75x16' need advice

Post by persistence »

G'day all. Need some advice. I'm doing up a 80series i've just bought. I've put in a 2' lift and am looking for some rubber. Trying to choose between the 33'x15 or the 75 x16'. Whats the ad/disvantages between the 15' and 16' or thinking about the 35'. These tyres will be used for weekend trips and longer touring. I've got street tyres for the rest of the time. Any ideas and thoughts would be appreciated.
Thanks :D

Usually the 16R tyres cost considerably more than the 15R

15 inch tyres are more available everywhere in many sizes particularly the 31s

16 inch tyres are a lil more expensive.

16 inch tyres - (think they have a higher load rating)

i had 15 inch rims with 35 wranglers and they were super loud as. whereas my 16 inch with 36 swampers was heaps quieter :?: think its load related perhaps??

Less sidewall flex in the 16 if comparing the same outside ODs (good on road not off it)

Also better brake rotor clearance.
