Hey, just picked up what I was told were 235/70/16s
Went to fit them and realised I've got 2x 255/65/16s
2x 245/70/16s
And the spare is different again..

If the same size are kept on the same axle will this be a problem? It works out about 10mm diamiter different.. will it mess with abs/TC?
Or should I be asking for some money back.
. They are from a breakers with the alloys
Cheers

IMO definitely take refund and fit identical tyres all around, even different pressures on the same axle or uneven wear can mix up the ABS related systems(TC, EBD) to not mention that it puts stress on the transfer box, it can be dangerous too cos the ABS can kick in unwanted or not work when needed and the breaking distance to suffer, the D2's ABS system is very sensitive and it was calibrated for the std dimension tyres at the recommended pressures

/\ as above, tyre sizes need to be the same on 4x4 to prevent transmission wind up etc.

Thanks mate, have asked him for a part refund since I'm going to have to buy 2.. or 3 new tyres now. Reason I bought these were to avoid that.. since they do have good tread. Probably should have checked first but took his word for it.
