Hi Everyone
I pick up my brand new altitude tomorrow morning and im looking to upgrade the tyres asap.
Ive never really understood tyre sizes, but have been doing a bit of research and found myself a tyre calculator website which does the job nicely. (http://tire-size-conversion.com/tire-size-calculator/)
The car comes standard with 265/65/17 - 30.6" on 7.5inch alloy rims.
I would be looking for somthing slightly bigger than stock to give me more clearance. Ive found the following possible examples:
265/70/17 - 31.6" (Cooper AT3)
275/70/17 - 32.2" (Micky Thompson ATZ)
285/70/17 - 32.7" (Micky Thomson ATZ)
275/65/17 - 31.1" (BFGoodrich All Terrain)
275/70/17 - 32.2" (BFGoodrich All Terrain)
I also plan on doing a 2" lift almost immediatly.
So im a bit lost as to what to fit. Ideally would like the rear wheel cover to stay, but realise that may not be a possability.
The 150 section of the forum seems a bit light on with the type info?
The cart is the wifes daily driver, and I will use it on the beach and also with the local 4wd club - Nothing crazy, but stock tyres wont cut it.
Any suggestions/advice?
