So maybe tyre manufacturers need to bring out 34" tyres?

I rang a local tyre mob today to ask them as I found the same out after looking closer and they said it all depends on the brand of tyre. Not every tyre is exactly the same in diameter. But he said there is some close to 32.4. But he would regard them as a 32inch tyre. We got onto the discussion about 285/75/16's how people call them 33's. Again he said, it varies between brands, some are 32.4 and some are 32.8. I wonder what brand tyre Nissan used of the Factory floor.
So yeah I don't think one could get away with this with the fuzz down here if they had a DX. Unless the copper didn't really know.

Very true Cuppa :-) and or have Australia's best Northern diesel tweakers legalise 35's :-)So maybe tyre manufacturers need to bring out 34" tyres?
G'day Mr Winnie, if I had a Mansfield gauntlet run choice, would personally take 35's in an honest pattern versus 34 jungle's that might scrape in technically but we know their look raises eyebrows:-) In saying that, again personal experiences proves some 'law folk' only tend to read the 35xXX numbers on the wall ;-)

Hello from Under Down Under!
Once again, while you may be correct to the letter of the law, the cop wont care, especially down Mansfield way. He'll slap the canary on just the same, and then it's on you to get it cleared at Vicroads.
Really need to push for a change to the ADR's. My brother in law has a 105 series cruiser with a 2" lift, 33's, one of those roof racks that has the high sides, and then a roof top tent on top of that. It is heaps more unstable than my 3"+35's with no rack or roof top, both onroad and off. The sway his gets on long winding corners, or when we are in any off camber off road is just crazy. But he's legal, and I'm not. Go figure.

Being top heavy with the rack and roof top won't help the cruiser, or any vehicle thats for sure.
Hey Winne. Are those trekkers load and speed rated? If not they might aswell run around on 37's. Jaysee got done in Dargo for his Simex tyres for no load or speed rating, as well as being 35inch. Actually I think it would be worse to run on 34's with no load or speed rating. As they almost threw the book at Jaysee because of his tyres, everyone else with 35's, cept for me an Rossco, just got minor defects.

I've got no idea if they do or not? Probably not actually!
Howcome you and Rossco got away with the 35s? Did they not check?
We were lucky and went a different way. We saw them later behind us, we turned right & they kept going. . . Must have been beer o clock ☺
