Larger Tyres and distance travelled

[drgtr]

I do get confused easily Drgtr mate and will have to defer to ET here. +\- tyres/diffs etc....
I do know that a BFG Km2 muddie varies shiploads from fresh to sand tyre worthy :-)

lol mate im no expert either. Im far from probably even understanding

Appreciate your advice and no doubt you know more than me.
Im new to this

the wheels are negative 22 offset.
I been trawling forums and internet trying to learn

really it started from why I was revving quite high on 5th gear at 110kmh. Then realising my car has the 3litre 4.3 diffs rather than the 3.9 diffs.
was a blessing in disguise.

the 35s were given to me so I couldnt resist.

Update:

So before 35s and Roof Rack. I was averaging 16.4L/100km.

Now with 35s calculated twice. Same driving pattern. 15.8L/100km.

I love on the highway now Im around 2100rpm at 106kmh too.

Gotta Love Turbo Diesel 6 Cylinders.

Update super appreciated for my learning too mate! So...many variables we all experience in this great land. Flat open hauling to hills, to humid snow cold air intakes, to humid tropics, to 2.8/3.0/4.2D ~ 4.5/4.8P & Conversions x tyres/ratios = 15.8L/hundgy on your beast loaded sounds pretty damn good to my nuffy experience :-) !

Thanks MB.
It made sense to get some conclusion.
Im very happy to say the least.

The only downside to the 35 was it created more vibrations around 1200 rpm or less especially on 2nd gear.
No doubt the extra unsprung weight has moved the Harmonics/vibration around.

The exhaust muffler was fixed and mounted tighter as that created a very fast vibration sound brrrrrrr when it touched the towbar underneath the car.

The second vibration area was coming from the front . Similarly very fast brrrrrrrrrr vibration. was the Coil Springs because the rubber tops were shagged.
Changed that today too and now nice and quiet.

If a noise is there and its not normal but not detrimental. It plays on my OCD. I have to get rid of it and im happy I found both!


If a noise is there and its a nissan patrol Td42ti thing like the 1st and 2nd Gear chatter (gear roll over noise) on low rpm. I can live with it haha.


Overall
a Td42Ti on 35 inch with 4.3 Ratio is a very pleasant car to drive

Hopefully this helps other people who read this and wish to go down this path.
