8.25R16 tyres

Post by chimpboy »

Anyone know of a good 8.25R16, maybe something light-truckish or tractorish that wouldn't be too expensive?

8.25R16 Tyres

Check Michelin,
they sell a 8.25R16 Tyre. It is called XZL, I think. It comes from the same range (ARMY) as the 9.00R16.Not sure about the price...

Hi Eddy,

Yep I would go for 7.50R16 if I can't get 8.25. I am even thinking about 9.00R16, not sure what's legal if the largest original size was 7.50R16.

235/85R16 same diameter as 7.50, and an inch or so wider. Some fairly good treads available too.
