Help What size are these tyres

[NCpaj]

I have two questions

In the golve box it gives the stock pajero size tyres
215sr15
7.00 16lt

-what are these in inches
-How big over stock in QLD can you go (with out engineer) is it still 50mm?


Thanks

My 215 r15's are about 28 inches with a tape measure, woefull ... but it just means I have an instant 1.5" lift when I put on the 31's

So as a guide, 28-29 Inches. And general consensus seems to be that 50mm is the rule.

hey thanks heaps, farrrk 29s that means legally 31s are it ------------
BAHHHHHHH

ill be putting 33s on there anyway
(is the other tyre bigger?)
casue if it is ill put a 32 sime on it so it reads only like a 50mm increse but its a 33

7.00R16 work out to about 31"... although technically they're a 30", it's 30" + tread gotta love those truck diametere tyres.

So 31"s are completely legal, 32"s are of questionable legality.

According to

http://www.tirerack.com/tires/tiretech/ ... ?techid=53

7R16 is 29.5 inches in diameter

QLD transport modification rules say you can only go 15mm above the largest diameter on the placard and 25mm less than the smallest diameter available. 30" would be the largest legal size

They are very restrictive regarding diameter, however width wise you can go 1.3 times the widest tyre on the placard, and 1.5 times the widest if the vehicle has front and rear beam axles. Go figure

yep definitely 15mm bigger in QLD and an engineer makes no difference in QLD...the rules are the rules here im afraid

Nope..... that size on tire rack was 7.00R15.... add another inch to that so 30.5"



eg:

http://www.bridgestone.com.au/tyres/pro ... s/r200.asp Bridgestone R200 = 775-777mm

777mm = 30.6"

So 31" is perfectly legal (normally about 30.6"). Some 32" tyres will also be legal, if below 31.2" - especially 32" metric equivalents like 265/70/16.

So in summary, 265/70/16, 275/70/16, 245/75/16, 31x10.5x15, would be QLD legal based on a 7.00R16.

Which just shows you there's no proper metric equivalent to the cool 8.25 and 9.00 sizes.
