Earlier in a post I asked if tyres sizes on the rear axle were bigger is that ok!!!!!
I have been told that they are not compatiable when diff lock engaged(thanks to Antshybred, Rob109, S-guru and budgie for there advice)
Wanting to go M/T on rear my tyre size with A/t is 235 70 16.
on front (NEW).Would I be taking any risks by adding 235 /75/16s on the rear or is that 5ml still a no go??????
Looked at the Colways remolds M/t range. Just can't afford full set at moment!!
cheers

I work that out at a difference in circumference of 3.2%. Not a lot, but I bet it could ****** up your transmission in 4x4 or diff-lock (sorry can't remember what model you have).
