So 245mm / 25.4 mm/in = 9.64" Width
And 245mm * 85% / 25.4 mm/in * 2 + 15" = 31.39" Height

This is pretty much exactly 1 inch taller than the 245/75/16 that many are running. I think YES Tom, you should do it.

Went to the Maxxis site couldn't find the Buckshot Mudders in that size?

http://www.maxxis.com/AutomobileLight-T ... udder.aspx

>>Click on the "Specifications" tab<<


Never really heard of a tire in that size. Don't get caught in a scam. I wouldn't pay the guy until I see the tires myself, or atleast a picture of the tires with the size stamped on it.

have seen them up close and personal, I found one site that had that size listed but only one place, rare tire for sure which makes me wonder ...what if...I blow one then need a replacement, of course what I am buying them for is the cost of one so not like I would be out a lot you know, plus they would be good for burning brush piles in the winter :wink:
