Hey Mozzie
I guess the most important thing is to keep the rolling circumference similar to what others are running with 14's or 15's. There's a calculator you can use here. http://www.brspecialtuning.co.uk/Tyre%20size%20calculator.htm" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;
You can probably go a little larger than most at the front since you're not going super low and you have tubs. At the rear I would take your gearing into consideration before you choose a combo. 15 x 185 65's appear to be the minimum most will go. Look for a rolling circumference around this.
Looking at the calculator and using the tire sizes on my BF Goodrich All-Terrain T/A KO 27x8.50 14R (~215 75 14R) creates a difference from the desired circumference of a 185 65 R15 about 178mm larger or about 9% increase in tacho reading.
What is the original tire set up?
Does anybody know if this tire will create problems for the gearbox?
I've been running these tires since I got my bus in '98 and no problems so far.
Oh I obviously run stock height, but is a bit heigher than stock due to the tall tires. (ride quality and cornering are ace!)
