It's so easy to get confused regarding tyres, as there are so mnay different options, and just as many different opinions. I've been reading up on tyres, on the various threads, and had come to the conclusion (based on what people said) that if you're using 15in wheels, then 215/75/15 was the size to go for. Yet here we have another thread saying something else altogether - there are about four different sizes mentioned. I know it's a personal thing, you pays your money, etc, but it's a bit confusing for any newcomer, to say the least.

This topic on Brick-Yard helped me decide with what would be a good fit on my wheels, and with what I wanted to use them for: http://www.brick-yard.co.uk/forum/tyre- ... 60146.html

15" Mefros are 6" wide.

A couple of video's from the weekend:

I nominate this as quote of the year ....

Kumho's look a good tyre at a reasonable price. But they haven't got those lovely white letters on the sidewalls.

I would say that size is the most common and for good reason....most readily available,cheapest, best size for no body mods and gearing, and, if a little skinny looking, works best all round..that the size I will be going for on the pickup unless I fall over something else ligging for next to nowt..
