Looking at buying some TSLs,looking at 32s or33s,have looked on the Interco web site and found that they list a 32/9/16 that is listed with a tread width of only 8.5" and a sectional width of 8.8".Also they list a 32/10/16 with a tread width of 9" and a sectional width of 10.1" BUT a height of only 31.2".I know that Interco are not known for their specs being what the real tyres sizes are,but has anyone had these tyres or measured them.I don't want to go any wider than 10" as that is as wide as I want to fit on my 7"rims and they will fit under the guards of my Rangie with the body lift and spring lift without having to resort to flares.

I have never seen a 32/10/16, but I have owned 9/32/16's, and they're pretty short. Personally, I would be shooting for a 9/34/16, as with a body lift they should fit OK. Iin hte club we have a couple of Suzuki Sierra's on these and also an 3000kg 80 series and they seem to work pretty well on everything, and will go an a rim as narrow as a 5.5, although they are sweet on a 7. ( recommended on a 6.5)

Also, the 9/34/16's and 34/9.5/15's have a slightly different tread design in the centre that aids flexing and self cleaning over other swampers.

I looked at the 34/9.5/16 closely,I know they will fit easily,but was more concerned with the effect on the gearing as the diff ratios are standard and the fact that I only have a Maxi Drive in the rear.I was originally going to get Simex ETs in 32/9.5/16 which are actually 33" tall,but am able to buy the TSLs a lot cheaper at the moment.The 32/10/16 TSL is known as a SAM18 which is obviously a Interco part number.
