Narrow is not for everbody I understand. But just putting this out there for any GX owners wanting a bit of extra height without changing your rims. 235/80 equates to a 808mm outside diameter. This is the closest you'll get to a traditional 7.50 x 16 size with a 17" rim. Fits neatly on the car and these GTs role very quietly. Given the slightly narrower footprint I have upped the pressure to 36 psi and it seems to be pretty close in compliance to the original tyres. No problems fitting on the door either (without the cover).

Hi Gordon,
Just wondering if you have had any issues with running a narrower tyre than standard?
They look great, actually considering a set of BFG KO2s in a 235/80R17.
