tyres probably a silly question
Hi all just a quick one are all 205 70r 15 tyres the same diameter. Or are all terrain tyres larger than normal road tyres of the same size. Cheers.

They do all differ a bit

Re: tyres probably a silly question
Just wondering if I could get away with AT tyres on to 15inch with a -40 drop on the springs. Been told I would get away with 205 70r 15 but have seen this size in AT tyres as well as normal road tyres so wondered if they were all same diameter.

Re: tyres probably a silly question
Hmmm, what's the sense of lowering a vehicle when you want to drive all terain tyres? I must be daft but I don't quite get it
Cheers, André

Re: tyres probably a silly question
Yep I know what you mean. However I lowered the van three years ago now and I have now moving on from that and am now looking for a different look and feel for the van. The missus keeps whinging about the cash that is being spent on it. Lol. However I need new tyres now so I thought now would be the time to go for the change .
