to those who are running these tyres,
what should the speedo dip switch be set to?
and
has anyone managed to mount one where the spare goes? mine doesn't fit between the rear diff and towbar.
thanks

Hi Frank,
#403 was running 270's on 19.5" rims before I put the 325's on and when I checked it against the GPS is was only a few k's out. So it probably wasn't accurate before.
403 is a dual cab tray and my spare fits neatly (and I mean neatly) where it is supposed to go. It just touches the nuts on the spring hanger pins on both sided and has about a couple of inch gap behing the tow bar cross member.
Buses will be different because they have an extended tow bar frame.
Cheers

Posts: 77 Both Mick (#236) and myself bought those XML tyres. Mick have fitted them already and his spare sits in the space for such spare with next to nothing to spare East-West and a few cms North-South. I did not know there was a difference in the bodies relating to space for spares. Must measure my space then. No, we have done nothing about the speedos yet, heehee, waiting for somebody to provide the solution. Hank

I fitted the 325's on #403 about a month ago haven't done any off road work yet, however have done about 1500klm's on the black stuff. I have been very surprised at the low road noise which confirms what I was hoping for as I had a drive of John's (from Cairn's) earlier this year and that was what convinced me to go for them.
