255/75r17

Hi Gents,

Anyone has experience with swapping the factory 265/70r17 with 255/75R17?

I like the skinny tyres, but not sure how it will look like.

Many thanks

Do a search mate, there’s a thread here somewhere all about this and the 80 or 85 profile I think.
Cheers

I do like some skinny tires!

Hard to find the right information. I would like to know what the most narrow, Michelin Defender 17" tire is, that has a diameter between 32 and 35 in.
Seems a simple ask, but I'm not able to search any online retailers using those parameters.

Anyone?


Maybe not quite as skinny as the ones on my Troopy, but..

A really nice size, same diameter as OEM but narrower and higher sidewall, unfortunately not a popular size, certainly in Southern Africa.
