AFAIK grabbers dont make a 16x33" tyre.
I was at one stage considering getting 15" wheels so that I can fit 33/12.5r15 grabber mt's - see they are now about R2300.

If I can find a nice set of rims I will go 33x12.5. I actually think they complement the Patrols look better than the 16" and they are loads cheaper

Re: Tyre prices
If you would like to feel ill go to ebay and look at the rand prices on our beloved 285X75X16 Tyres (I checked Cooper STT Pro's) ............. We are not just being ripped off but raped multiple times in SA........... Import duties on 4X4 tyres are 30%? Ex Europe they are approx R 2 k per tyre cheaper........ Me thinks I smell a cartel......

Re: Tyre prices
Hi All I gave Tinus a name and phone number the other day of where I get my steel rims from (Fastrak Wheels 011 392 5901/3 and speak to Cheryl(they are out near the airport) prices are great but have never checked if the have rims to fit the patrols, may be worth someone checking!! I have fitted the new grabbers on my Disco 4 very happy with them so far, just pushed up my fuel consumption a bit!
