Hi all,
I need new tyres and looking to buy BFGOODRICH KO2 AT.
I have a 1996 300 Tdi 90 and it has 205 70 r 16 tyres on standard steel rims, the diameter of these are 693mm (according to tiresize.com). I believe these are standard factory fit tyres for this year.
That said I have read that defenders factory tyres are 235 85 r16. A diameter of 805mm.
Here’s my question: when I measure 805mm across my arches it seems the tyre will not fit. Can you knowledgeable people enlighten me if 235 85 r16 with a diameter of 805mm will fit on my standard steel rim, standard arches, standard suspension, no spacers etc. What are you running?
