I'm sure this has been explained before, but once more for the dummies! Why are some tyre sizes listed as 31x10.5x15 and others as 235/85R16? I know the last figure is the wheel diameter. I'm presuming that some are inches and some are millimeters but is the 31 the tyre width (same with the 235)?
Secondly, I have just purchased a base model 80 series LC (93 model) with standard rims and wish to upgrade. I would ike to stay with 16 inch rims but wider and get some good rubber. I think I have read somewhere that you can't put wider 16 inch rims on due to interference with brakes or something?
ps thanks for all the advice on Troopy back seats everyone!
