Hi,
I recently got a defender which came with 235/65 16 tyres mounted on 16x7 steel wheel presumably from a Disco?
Anyway my question is will these larger tyres cause my speedo reading to be out slightly? if not what will?
Cheers, Happy New Year
sure they are 65's ?
search search search SEARCH SEARCH FFS.
Didn't think we could say that anymore since we gone all pc
Yu's lot might be all PC but Ah've allas bin a bolshy **** an AH int changing fer no coont.
190/100's fooking hell where did yer get them from? are yer sure they weren't 7.50" 16's
190/100 16?? yer sure about that?.Alright people CALM DOWN (I am new to forums)!!
I have done some research MYSELF and found my speed to be 70mph with 190/100 16 (original tyre size???) and my new tyres 235/85 16 are 70.83mph.
So when travelling at 70mph I am actually travelling at 70.83mph-1mph over what my speedo actually reads.
190/100 16?? yer sure about that?.
redhand,
you need to change google to search
--me
and you coonts need to research yer research FFS. 190/100/16 is (as I said) 7.50/16 crossplys. which were never made in Metric sizes. yer fooking morons.
radials only goto about 85% of the tyre width, so a 285/65 is 65% of 285mm. + the Rim size in this case 16".
Well are you sure that calculator does not adjust for that???
