Hi guys,
Looking to replace the Woosung tyres (235x85x16) currently on the gq ute. It has the 6inch stocko rims on it. I only really drive it on weekends - the beach and the odd bit of bush is all I do, no mud. I was looking at bighorns but not really ideal for my application plus I want to keep it legal - rolling diameter/width and the like. I don't really want to have an expensive exercise and buy wider rims but if it will benefit to I will. I'm looking at getting a set of maxxis A/T in the same size (keeping same rims) but after advice as to wheather going wider to 265x75x16 and getting 7 or 8 inch rims would this make much difference to the capability of it in the sand?
Not overly concerned with the look just want practical really. Leaning towards airing down the skinny tyres and driving to the conditions.
Any advice or thoughts more than welcome!
Cheers
