| Post subject: | 1997 Coily |
Gday, Im looking at getting a new set of tyres on my 1997 Coily. As far as I know it has stock rims/ tyres 205/70R15, and suspension at the moment and don't plan on upgrading suspension until a latter date. I was thinking of trying 215/80R15? Will these fit without rubbing? Will they put much more strain on the gearbox etc? Do you think it is a good idea or do the disadvantages out weigh the advantages? Its used to drive 20km a day on bitumen to work through winter and the rest of the time on very soft sand beach driving. Its basically a fishing bus so don't need Mickey Thompsons or any of those top of the market tyres.......just something cheap. Any info and advice would be appreciated....... Cheers Hairy |

For what you want to use it for, I think a set of 215/75 would be the ideal choice. It wont affect your gearing too much and should have no issues with rubbing. |

The reason I was thinking of 80% was to get a longer footprint when deflated? Is the 80% not a good idea? |

Im not sure on the availability of a 80 profile. Whereas a few of the jimny guys run the 215/75 with no issues. As for footprint. Zooks are so light it really wouldnt be a issue between those sizes |

I ran Toyo open country AT 215/75/15 for a while on my coily. They did ok in the mud, perfect for beach or forest tracks. Id never go back to a AT or even a 215/75. |

Yeah,we run Toyo 225 on standard rims and have had no issues,seem a good tyre particulary on sand and low noise on the black stuff.215 is the go on standard rims thou.,the dealer had no 215's and offered us a good/great deal on the 225's he had in stock,so will upgrade to a wider Mag. wheel in the future. |

I, and others, discussed this here:http://www.auszookers.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=37&t=45050 It may be of interest to you. (I have a coily with coil spacer lift only, though 235's will fit anyways) |
