old used up 285 / 70 /16 tyres wanted
I am looking for a set of old used up tyres of the size 285 / 70 / 16 or alternatively 285 / 75 / 16.
I want to test how this size of tyre effects the driveabilety in terms of gearing (4.5 auto). I want to test the suitability on an old set of tyres before committing to spend a lot of money on a new set.
So if anyone in the Gauteng area consider changing to a new set of tyres or has a old set lying around which I could purchase for little money and a handshake.... please let me know.
i know ...... i am a cheapskate

Thanks Tinus for this generousness offer; but I rather keep on the look out for a used set .....
Just imagine I accidentally stuff up your wheels
otherwise ...... are you saying the 285s are not working on an 4.5 auto ?

Same offer from me.
Different size, but also 33" diameter and much cheaper than Tinus's to replace.

Hi Ian
thanks for your input.
I think Tunis was more referring to the possibility that the 4.5 auto might tend to hunt gears when using 285s . (not so much about the slower pull off).
What is your experience ? How does yours behave when cruising at 100-120 km/h ?

Re: old used up 285 / 70 /16 tyres wanted
Please read carefully, he is looking for 285/70/16 (31,7") tyres not 286/75/16 (32,8")
I dont see how this size could have any negative effect

Re: old used up 285 / 70 /16 tyres wanted
The preferred size would be 285/70/16 (32s)..... however those once seem to be rather scares.
That is why I would alternatively also look for 285 / 75 / 16.... the more common size.
hence I wrote
"I am looking for a set of old used up tyres of the size 285 / 70 / 16 or alternatively 285 / 75 / 16"
