Gidday All,On a recent trip halfway the cape I ripped the side out of one of my tyres on the 1994 cruiser.The size of the tyre on the 4BY is 275x70rx16.I have sitting in the shed a 265x75rx16 light truck(brand new).My question is what is the difference in diameter size and can I use it on the 4BY.
Thanks Locallaw

It would be close to the same height. Just line it up next to one of the other tyres and
check the height deferens. Would not recommend running different size/ pattern tyres as it can affect grip, handling also mechanical part’s if big deferens in height.
I would think height wise the tyre would be so close it would not be an issue and only 10mm smaller in width so yes if you MUST use it there should not be a problem.
I would put it on the back not the front.
