Hi all, I know this question has been asked many a time for FB/ EK, but looking at getting new tyres for my EJ. wanted to know what would be the best current spec tyre to match the original. Currently it has 175/70/13. I know these r not right coz the speedo is out..

Was thinking its the same as FB: 185,80,13 ?????? but just wanted to double check????

hope someone can help???

Sam,
I would go for 185/80/13 if you want to keep aspect ratio closest to original.

A few brands also come with the thin whitewall on them,if thats what you are after.

A good place i have found that usually has them in stock is ,Craig at Fishers Ghost Tyres ,Campbelltown.

Regards,Greg.

Yeah, I used the same guy Greg used, same size tyres too.

$495 fitted and balanced, though it may have gone up since then
