235/85R16 tyres
Posted: Mon Aug 14, 2017 8:31 am
Hi
Time for new tyres for the Fortuner. The 265/70R16 Goodyear AT/SA I fitted lasted 80 000km so not too bad. I was wondering if anyone has tried fitting 235/85 tyres to their Fortuner. If thick sand is about the worst you're going to have to handle I was thinking the larger footprint when deflated may help. Also, as my vehicle does more tar than gravel (I know a real shame) I also think the slightly narrower tyre may actually give slightly better fuel consumption. From what I see it won't be much different in terms of wheel circumference.
Any feedback will be appreciated.
