Fitting 33" tyres

[RMP&O]

Same thing here Kev unless you find 2nd hand military stock which is just about as rare as new. Only one supplier in the US I know of that has the XZL in 7.50x16 and they are not cheap. XZL was standard on some Rovers. 8.25" is great, 9.00 is a touch big on a Patrol but will work in my opinion. Might scrub front leaves at full lock with stock wheels.

Yep i reckon your correct. The 9.00R16 would almost certainly scrub on stock rims. If i found a set i would run them on hermit, or grip- neither of which are stock though. But they would also go on the -15 offset 16x7 rims i bought a while ago with the idea of tall and skinny.......

the indian company MRF tires do a 9.00R16 ex millitary bar tread type tire. Horrid mileage, eg less than 20,000km, but they are appaerntly nearly unstoppable in the thick stuff. They also have a rep for busting toyota drive lines

funny how the michelins are not really openly available

cheers
