  • Bigger tyres on the SWB ?

    Anyone running 265/70 R17's ?

    Plenty of talk on the 5 door threads but wondering about the SWB. Understand the LWB guys use more fuel (not too much of an issue) but some reckon the towing really suffers as well.

    Given that our SWB's weigh about 10% less, I'm wondering if the 265/70 R17 option may not have the same effect. They are only 3.4 % larger. May even suit the drivetrain given the lower weight (?)

    265/70/17 is about 803mm, I'm running 810mm and towing 1600ish kg trailer and getting 13 L per 100 travelling on the speed limit including 110 zones unless hilly, fitted a Torque Converter Lockup switch cause the jumping in and out of top gear drove me crazy, it is now a pleasure to tow, no powerhouse but I can't complain getting that sort of economy.

      Thanks for that. Very interesting and sort of what I was hoping for. Sounds like the 265/70 would work very well with the SWB as far as gearing is concerned.

      Have you got any clearance issues with the 810 mm ?

        They just touch the plastic upper mud flaps but they are 275 55 20 on 9" rims with a +18 offset, raised suspension and the upper control arms have been replaced with adjustable ones.
        Use the will they fit website to work out your clearances.
