So, I started making in roads to change up from the stock 275/70/16 up to 285/75/16,
In Spain this modification will take some time and cost to achieve, administration engineers report, documents that will not hold the company who fits them liable if I have an accident, and so forth.
My brand preference is BF Goodrich but alas it seems the above size is only available in a speed rating not suitable for the MANUAL 80? I am looking for some official figures that proves the 80 manual has a similar top speed as an auto, as an auto is capable of being fitted with S rated tyres and not H rated. I also find one tyre supplier can get H rated tyres and two others say no? This is typical of Spain, anything out of the ordinary needs shedloads of research and reams of paper to be achieved.
The worst case scenario is I have to stay with the stock size, but can only find H rated tyres here from Toyo (Open country) or Yokohama A/T.
Not being overly impressed by the TOYO's I wondered if anyone had any experience of the Yokohama's?
In the meantime I will search for H rated AT tyres.
TIA
regards
Dave
