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?

Sorry dude ... 825 is gunna be expensive.

Most are 14 ply rating, and any thing lighter is like rocking horse excretia.

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.

was going to run 8.25 16's on my ute but they were too hard to get hold of and new was not worth the expense (cheaper to run 35's)
