BFG size ???

Post by Animul »

Front and rear bumper ....check!

Winch .... check!

Now tyres .... I currently have Good Year Wrangler 255/75/17 fitted to my Jeep. I can fit BFG 265/75/17 or 285/65/17 or 305/65/17 ...

I was advised not to fit the 305's ... does anyone have a particular reason why this is not adviseable? I am still going to lift 2,5" as well ....

Ek het vanoggend pryse gekry vir BFG's. Hoekom is 285/70/17 goedkoper as 265/70/17? Dit maak dan mos sin om 285's op te sit vir goedkoper. Of mis ek iets?

Supply en demand... economy of scale is die enigste rede... daar is 'n groter mark vir die 285's :thumbup: :thumbup: :thumbup:

Jy mis niks nie dit gaan alles oor aanvraag en beskikbaarheid. Ek sal ook eerder die 285 opsit.
Ek dog net ek wil sommer 'n prentjie met jou deel.
Daar is glo 'n forum gestig net oor die ligte probleempie wat redelik gereeld voorkom :thumbdown: :thumbdown:

Dit maak net sin ... 285's sal dit wees. OOOMS? Jy het mos gese ek mag nie 305's opsit nie. Seker omdat ek dan enige obstacle sal aanvat ne? :yahoo:

Sal die 285's beter wees of moet ek 265's opsit?

265/70/17 is not a common tyre size so demand is lower. 285/70/17 was standard fitment on some LandCruisers and Nissan Parols hence they are more freely available and slightly cheaper

Ek't "aanvaar" dat 285s duurder as 265s is, gedink ek kan my goeie 2de-handse stel 285x75x16s ruil vir 'n soorgelyke stel 265s maar nou lyk dit asof ek sal moet inbetaal?!
