Hi everyone!
My better half wants to put new tyres on our Supreme Getaway as the tyre gut in Maclean said the ones on tere were unusual and noone would carry them in sock so was wondering if anyone has put 235/85/r16 on their supreme

Some idea of the brand would be a help.

Are they that size or is that what you want to put on it.

I would be putting light truck tyres of a correct weight rating on it in a popular brand. And just 205/16 would be good if LT's

This might seem a little strange for an offroad van but I have put 225/70/15 Firestone CV3000 tyres on my Supreme. They are a little smaller but man are they tough. These are the third set on my van and each time I have got at least 70 or 80 thousand k's out of them. The current set are getting old in years now as the van is not used commercially like it used to be, but still have completed plenty of dirt including a Birdsville track run, Bore track and Innaminka surrounds along with heaps of blacktop. I am not far off trying to get an interchangeable tyre size with my Patrols' tyres but have not checked if the CV3000 is made in a 285/75/16 but if they are that will be the next set on my Supreme.

Cheers, Trevor.
