Re: **What Tyres Do You Have?** Reference Poll Thread
Replaced OME 215/65R16s on stock rims with:
A: 235/70R16 Dueller 697s
B: AT
C: $1,250 for 5 tyres incl. lifetime wheel alignment (for the life of those tyres)
D: very happy so far. Fitted in Brisbane and drove to Mt Isa that day fully loaded inside & on roof racks of Exy plus towing large trailer. Tyre noise is no louder (or noticeably audible) like existing stock tyres. Unsure of fuel economy advantages just yet. Corrected the 5.5% Speedo error so that now it reads exactly as GPS! Very important :-)
*Update*
I'm pretty sure fuel economy with larger 48mm tyres is crap. Town driving <450km (not really lead foot), hwy 350km towing small box trailer, hwy 650km (I think) just family and luggage. Hwy driving speed average 110kmh
