[QUOTE="mike202, post: 622820, member: 17202"] Yes I read that article. I don’t think it matters whether the tyres are 185 or 195 much, and that’s what he says. 195 will be closer to the rolling radius but wider than the original bias ply tyre width. Whereas 185 are slightly smaller rolling radius but almost the same width as original. I prefer the 185’s as it less likely to stress the steering box, and the spare fits in the wheel well easily. The 195 is a tight squeeze, and as I often remove the spare when camping to make the most of the bed space with an infill cushion, it works better for me. Also, the load rating which is per tyre of 102, is 850kg so 1700kg per axle. The gross weight of a loaded camper is about 2200kg max. So this load rating should be more than adequate. [/QUOTE]
