Following a few posts on the subject of legal/illegal tyre sizes I have checked out getting a engineering certificate for the 285/75R16 (33in) tyres I have on my Patrol which has a placcarded tyre size of 265/75R16 (31.5in), after a number of phone calls and emails the basic procedure is; I make an appointment with one of the Transport SA registered vehicle engineers they
check that the rolling diameter is within the allowable speedo error,
check that the tyres don't not foul on the body or
suspension,
check the load ratings. I pay approximately $330 and they give me a custom tyre placcard and certificate for the vehicle. So in short I next time I am in the big smoke I will probably
fork out the money for peace of mind because I like my bigger tyres.
On a related matter, what is the best price anyone has found in SA recently for 285/75R16 Goodyear MTR's?
Cheers
