Follow-up mumber 3
Well, now I'm totally confused.
Today, Bob Jane, Caboolture have told me that they think the Prado rims I have on might be illegal and warned me about any non-standard setup, on the basis that, in an accident, an insurance company could get away without paying up if the wheels were illegal.
Let me say they didn't say the wheels were illegal, they just said they might be.
Also, it got worse, he said, although I could have fitted 275/70 R16's on my orginal Crusier rims (suggesting I never needed the Prado 16" rims in the first place) that, with these rims, I could only go to 275/70 maximum. GoodYear sold me the Prado rims in the first place about 3 years ago on the basis that I needed them to go from the standard 265's to 275.
Bob Jane Caboolture went on to say that if I wanted 285/75 they would have to go on 15 (yes, 15) inch rims beacuse of laoding issues, and also I should
check with my insurer whether that was legal, to be sure.
Then he started talking about a variety of alternate configurations in inches (35,36, 37 etc) which totally confused me.
Is there anywhere that clearly explains what's possible, I wonder.
