Tyre Sizing
I've been undertaking a few suspension mods (long time needed) including AVO rear coil overs with 850 lb springs.
The ride is now superb and the ar$e is well out of the long grass!
My question is about rear tyre sizing as I now have a bit of space in the rear arches.
I am sticking with the existing 16" halibrands (7" front, 8" back).
I have 245 / 45 on the rear, which are ready for a change and 225 / 50 on the front.
I'm tempted to switch the rears to 50 or 55 profile, but after consulting the Tyre Bible 55 profile may end up with problems actually fitting the tyre in the arch.
I am thinking 50 profile, which is the same as the front - any comments / suggestions.
I would say that the Cobra is now standing how it should (an inch higher at the back). Good to lift a DRB back end as it does seem to be a little longer than other makes.
Thanks guys
