That's nice to know, now we can all go even faster with impunity, (abroad of course) my PC is slightly to the right of Genghis

Clearly I need to buy a new tire, I would like to upgrade to 245/65/17

not with different rolling diameters, probably not wise. There will be 6mm difference in diameter, plus the difference in any tread wear with the other tyres... it's a pita.... |

sorry as well - i lied, not a 6mm in diam, i meant to say 6.5mm in side wall height |

so 13mm diam increase over a 235/65. Plus any wear on the remaining 235s would increase that. What does it mean - well imo the wheel centre would essentially be at different angles than the others and increase wear on diffs. Can you risk it? Maybe, but I would be careful given the history of diffs and transfer boxes.

Fairly sure different size wheels on the same axle are illegal.

I thought that the 235 was the width and the 65 the tyre height therefor shouldn't the rolling diameter be the same? But it would be 10mm wider, have a larger footprint therefor more resistance. If you wanted to replace 2 at a time Id say it would be best practice to make sure the tyres are the same size on an axle, but could be different front to rear. |

the 65 is a ratio of tyre width to side wall.

Ah, I didn't realise that, but makes sense. |
