boaterboy Posted August 3, 2019 Share Posted August 3, 2019 Please could somebody recommend a reasonable make of tyre for my TD5? Size 255/65R16 Road use only. 3-4k miles per annum maximum To be generally available, ie easily purchased make. Also, would two new tyres on one axle only be a problem for the transmission / differentials due to differing circumference front / rear (say)? Thank you for your help in anticipation, very much appreciated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blanco Posted August 3, 2019 Share Posted August 3, 2019 Goodyear have some good deals available at the moment, either online or at your local retailer, https://www.oponeo.ie/details-tyre/goodyear-efficientgrip-suv-255-60-r18-112-v-xl-fp#263214709 I was looking at these for my P38 (not your size, I know) but its a good site. My local guy fits and balances internet purchases for €15/ea. Putting two on can never be recommded, but in practice if you do short journeys and low mileage it is not likely to bite you, bear in mind that old tyres are recognised as a big safety issue now, so if the runners you plan to keep are 5yrs plus and it wasn't you that put them on then maybe change them anyway?

BogMonster Posted August 5, 2019 Share Posted August 5, 2019 I'd look at the Maxxis range for that sort of use. Not sure what patterns (if any) are available in that size though. You might find 245/75R16 or 255/70R16 are alternatives to consider, if changing as a set. Both will fit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
