If your trooper has 7in wide rims then 265/70R16 is the max width you can use safely but this will also increase rolling radius by 14mm or 28mm overall diameter so taller gearing and the speedo will be off by about 8% only.

Ungas: tnx for your comments. Galing!

Mauler: kala ko kasi 17 inch yung rims mo.
jackaroo: oo nga no. DI ko na consider yun but I think I can live with that. T.Y mga friends! Now I just need 20K):

sir ungas
yung scorpion at ba ramdam mo talaga yung tagatag? and kamusta ang tread wear? soft or hard compound ba siya? kaya ba ng 275/70r16 sa 16x7 rim?

medyo malapit nain kasi ako magpalit, mukhang scorpion na choice ko kasi walang bfg available, then wala daw atang yoko na pang 16?

Sizes from a yokohama price list:
1) Geolandar AT 2+
275/70R16 P5900
LT265/75R16 P5700
2) Geolandar HT
265/70R16 P4475
255/70R16 P4340

Think the max width for 7" rims is 265. What was the original tire size?

According to some of our tsikot friends, they claim Pirelli's are much stiffer which is composed of harder compound. Less resistant to wear.

Kaya naman yan. I fitted a 33x12.5x15 = 285/70R15 to my stock Nissan rims 15x7.

jackaroo parang mahal ata prices diba mas mahal ang pirelli sa yoko? bili ni boybi 5400 sa sonny ok for 265/75r16.

Don't be lured by the brand itself, they may claim their prestige in sedans but not in the bigger vehicle segments. I would go for road grip ability that the brand names.

tested ko na ang yoko, i'll vouched for that tire.

same as sir kimps, tested ko na rin ang Yoko Geolandar A/T +2 and I'm very much satisfied with these tires. Unang-una na napansin ko nang magpalit ko ng tires(from Dueler H/T), laking improvement sa ride comfort. Hindi siya matalbog o matagtag. Noise? Mas tahimik pa siya doon sa dating H/T tires ko. Durability? I've already run 10k using these tires and no noticeable thread wear. Parang bago pa nga. IMO, alaga lang sa alignment baka tumagal ito ng more than 50k. Traction? Wet and Dry, superb ang traction niya. I never heard these tires squeak. Offroad? Tried them sa soft sand w/out engaging in 4WD, they bite pretty well ( syempre, with so much sand splashing). Looks? Agressive. Para siyang mild na M/T. On the downside, medyo mahina ang brakes.

Purchased my Geo's(31x10.5x15) at Princess Tire Supply located at 2304 T. Mapua St. cor Laguna St. Tel# 254-1904. Ask for Tom. Price is P4350*.
