I'm looking for some advice on fitting some tyres I already have to get the full use out of them to save money etc . on my 1997 sotf lsd trooper I want to fit on the rear axle two 265x70x16 and fit two 245x75x16 road use only never use 4wd etc . i would just like to make use of these tyres i have left over in the shed already on rims to save money etc .Also i have checked on a tyre size comparison site and it tells me there is only 0.3% difference in circumference as i don't drive round in 4-wheel drive only using the back axle would i be ok . PENNY FOR YOUR THOUGHTS PLEASE . Thanks for reading cheers in advance
