    Mine doesn't fit with that size. Depends on the tyre though I think as there's some that have managed to get them to fit. Less aggressive tread patterns etc.

        Unless you really need the cover for something or specifically like it, just take it off. Then fit what ever size you like (within reason. Some require a spacer to prevent rubbing against the door)

              Yes it does seems to vary with the pattern - I have the 265/70-17 in a Cooper AT3 which fits fine

                oh right so tread pattern makes a big difference, good to know. After a bit of research last night I worked out I could swap the standard 245/70/17 for 265/65/17 which basically are the same height of 775 but wider same as a 31" basically.

                  Given the same overall diameter, a narrower taller tyre will perform better off road than a wider shorter tyre. If you want to go the next size up, look at the Wrangler 245/75R17.

                    How can a taller and shorter tyre have the same diameter. I dont understand your point

                      Taller and shorter refers to the tyre profile.

                      Eg. A 245/75R17 tyre has a very similar diameter to a 265/70R17.

                      Same with 245/70R17 and 265/65R17.

                        Hi All,

                        Has anyone been able to fit the cover over
                        a) Cooper ST max 265R70/17
                        b) BFG K0 all terrains 275R65/17
                        c) BFG kK02 all terrains 265R70/17

                        Need some new rubber soon, just trying to work out what will fit under the cover.

                        Thanks

                          Watching this with interest. I wanted to buy BF Goodrich 265/70 but the "hand brake" wants to retain the wheel cover. From memory, the standard Grandtrecks are 265/65. They will be lucky to make 40,000 km. I am not keen to take a risk unless I am sure the cover the will fit over the tyre. I can't see people in a tyre business putting tyres on and off my wheel to check out if they fit. Every time I have bought tyres they seem keen to get you in an out quickly.

                            I have a 150 series with the older Mickey Thompson ATZs in 265/70R/17 (listed as 805mm diameter) and they fit under the wheel cover but it's close. The new MT ATZ P3s in 265/70R/17 are listed at 810mm diameter, I don't know if they would fit.

                            The new BFG KO2 in 265/70R/17 are listed at 804mm diameter so they should fit??

                              The MT P3 in 265/70/R17 don't fit under the cover.
