Twisted 18” - Tyre recommendations
Currently running BFG 285/65/18, all pretty old and starting to crack so looking for recommendations in this size.

Looking on twisteds site they offer 285/60 so not sure if the previous owner put larger ones on…

Sorry I can’t help with recommendations but just wondering if you have checked if your speedo is about right as the different size would affect that Question Rob

Compared to gps speed and road sign radar speed thingies it seems to be pretty accurate
