the 4wdbits one didn't tell me what you really wanted to know



sorry to browndog, but when someone who has no knowledge of tyres posts up a tyre size like 240/80r15, then I have to respond.

If you can even find a tyre in that size, you're doing great.

as qouted the first time and above 265/75r15 is what you're after


now can I ask why you wanted to know this info, please.

Maybe in height but its a skinny wee tyre. And I doubt available.
As Skiddy said, 265/75/15 or the 265/70/16 Firehawks I run as road tyres

No, but they are near perfect for a standard 'zuk jimny or 3Dr G/Virara if anyone's looking for some chains.

Mind you, there don't seem to be too many standard 'zuks on here!!
