I'm running 285/70 r17 on the
Ranger now, but want to go down a size. I had considered 275/70 R17 (approx 32") but not sure about availability ion more remote areas. I'd rather not go to the 265/70, but will if it is a better choice for replacements.
Any ideas? Any experience with either (or an alternative option)?
Cheers,
Mark

Hey Mark
275's are very hard to get outside of the bigger cities. 285's and 265's are way more common and available.
I've been running 285's for nearly 300,000 k's on my
Ranger and apart from a little bit of extra fuel use I love them !
What is your reason or wanting to go down in size ?
Cheers
Gazz

Thought so. I'm looking to get a little better performance (fuel wise and towing). I know it won't be massive, but I feel the 285's have been a bit of overkill...
Might be 265's then...
Cheers,
Mark
