hattymender Posted July 25, 2008 Share Posted July 25, 2008 Can 7.5x16s be run with 235/86x16s? I've 4 235 85s on at the moment but one's flat and another 'marginal'. But I've also got a couple of good 7.5s. Are they near enough to run together? i.e. 7.5s on front and 235s on back? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
russ3120 Posted July 25, 2008 Share Posted July 25, 2008 I carry two 7.50s as spares when I`m running my 235/85s so long as the tyres are the same on each axle ,I cant see any major dramas if any. but a grown up will be along soon to confirm this or make me look stupid Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark90 Posted July 25, 2008 Share Posted July 25, 2008 I spent a day off roading at 7Sisters and drove back to Bristol with three 235/85's and one 7.50 after getting a flat. No problems. I put the 7.50 on the front (flat was on rear) as I had a detroit locker in the rear. Note that 7.50's can vary quite a bit in size from smaller tham most 235/85's to bigger than most, my 7.50 was a touch smaller. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Exmoor Beast Posted July 26, 2008 Share Posted July 26, 2008 I know a chap who ran an old Jeep Cherokee on different sized tyres for months. It was properly scary and hilarious to ride in, too wide for the roads around here for a start before it started leaping across the road when the transmission wound up. I drove our Disco 15miles home on 3 235/85s and one 235/70 a while back and it hardly felt odd at all. Will Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
