Pajero Owners Club of South Africa

Hi Guys.
I have gen3 gls, and the standard size tyre is 265/65/17.

Now I have read on the forum that you can go up a 70 profile to get some more ground clearance. How much more are we talking about here?
Whenever you go off-road you deflate the tyre, so will the profile really give you more clearance? I am asking since there is a R1500 cost difference per tyre.

Any suggestions?

Hi,

The larger tyre size does make a difference, however it does have a few drawbacks as well, which is slightly higher fuel consumption and more specifically when towing or steep hills it will drop and changes gears a lot more than before. I would suggest considering spacers from Uys for around R2100. Which will give you around a 45mm lift.

Cheers

David

I fitted mine at Autozone in Centurion and cost R600, took them a good 4 hours to put in and do wheel alignment

Mine is the very first ones that was fitted and I've had no problems so far
