Hi all

I know this subject has been covered many times and I have looked at all the threads that I could but I have a specific question.

Our LC 100 TD came with Dunlop Grand Treks. Tyre placard says 275/70R16 which is what they are. We want to do a trip to the centre later this year and plan to do a suspension upgrade and get new tyres before we go.

After a lot of research (including here) and talking to people the choice for tyres came down to BFG A/T or Coopers ST. We inclined slightly to the Coopers. From the Coopers web site it appears as though they do not supply our size - the closest is 285/75R16. BFG have both. I know there are arguments for and against going up a tyre size and we have not finally come to a view about that - BUT the real question is - could we put the Coopers on and be legal in NSW.

Thanks for any input.
