BF Goodrich KO2's 225/75/16

I never thought to use the original Claytons I have stuck in the shed when I went rushing off looking at steelies for my Swamper conversion.
They look really good actually - although I would want a spacer on the rear to bring them out abit so they fit like my modular steels.

Stance on that looks spot on! What setup do you have there?
 
How are you finding performance with these tyres on? I've got an 85hp startine and just put some tyres this size on. it's struggling to get up to speed and maintain motorway speeds. Seriously considering a remap! They look brilliant though

Have to say, not noticed any difference. Just had them put on my 4t motorhome as well

After lots of reading, I still don’t understand why for a 6.5J rim, they reccomend the max tyre section should be 215 and yet so many people go above that. Surely you’ll be daft if in a relevant accident it invalidates your insurance and your done by the police for manslaughter?

Also is it just the same if you go from 65% on the side walls to 75% with a 16 inch wheel?

BYW I want to go 225/75/16 too

Thanks for the reply :) I've gone from 205/65/16 on basic steels to 245/65/17 alloys - I put t6 in the shop website I bought them from and this size is what came up- will see how it goes. May end up going down in side wall size but time will tell!

To be honest, don’t understand any of it. I took advice from this forum and a specialist wheel and tyre supplier and am very happy with what I have.

Same argument could be used for many after market modifications on many cars I guess.
 
"I've got an 85hp startine and just put some tyres this size on. it's struggling to get up to speed and maintain motorway speeds."

I've been wondering about this. Mines a 102 but don't want to overstrain her. Most day it'll be ok but they've all got 204's! Not surprised you don't notice with that under the bonnet
 
Hi
I am going to change my T6 (2019) tyres. I wonder if you know that BF Goodrich 225/70r 16 is fitted for my van(standard 16" Clayton alloys)?
Thanks
