Tyre Size?
« on: March 12, 2013, 04:38:10 PM »
So what's the difference between 205R 16 and 7.50R 16 in terms of tyre size

And has anyone any views on Kingpin Hilander tyres

Thanks

7.50 are lwb and crossply slightly narrower than their replacements 235x85x16
205 are swb and replaced 600 +650- do not mix n match,Hilanders are soft compound diamond  remoulds - good offroad but will not last long on Tarmac and ride quality will be similar to insa turbos

Thanks Kieron

So I guess that the 7.50's will be taller than the 205's?

Not fused about soft compound as the truck won't be doing that much on-road work, just to and from events - the fuel bill will be big enough doing that  :o

http://www.carbibles.com/tyre_bible.html is also a good reference
