Current Pajero wheels and tyres

These 70 series tyres must be real popular.Kind of makes sense when they are the only ones making LT's in 70 series. As you know I couldnt get 265's last year and a bloke somewhere else cant get 275's for his cruiser at the moment.

After a trip from Adelaide to Perth and back and Melb. then to Sydney and back to Adelaide, no probs, but 1/2 day on gravel and 1 new geolander stuffed with star fracture, then went to use beadbreaker on mag and besides easy damage to mag with tyre levers, the hole in the middle isnt big enough to fit the beadbreaker in so decided to use steels for bush work and mags and HT's for home work.

Pesty,
From what I understand the hole in the middle of the rim will be the same size on the steel rims as the alloys. This is because the hole is a snug fit over the shoulder of the hub and this is where most of the weight is supported. If the hole is too large (wrong brand of wheel for instance) then the entire weight is supported on the wheel studs. Could lead to broken studs or even a wheel coming off.

Anyone else care to comment?? Confirm if this is true??

An alternative is to use this method to get the tyre off.

Cheers, John.

Thanks John, tyrepliers got it off too, and not sure about wheels yet havent seen them, but hole in middle of paj mag is only about 1/14 inches, so i doubt it is supported in the middle on that, but will have a look at wheels available, as they say they are for that model pajero!

Cheers

Mate, I have an NM so I know what you're talking about. Rest assured the centre hole fits over the boss on the hub and is the weight bearing part of the wheel. The studs just keep it on. (much simplified explanation!!)

Cheers..
