Default tyre sise 2002 Ford Courier

HELP, Love my 2002 courier 4wd however out on the road seems like it needs another gear plus it seems a little THIRSTY. Was wondering if anYone has fitted larger diameter tyres to their vehicle to assist this problem, If so what is the biggest dia tyre that can be fitted, currently have 205/16 (80 series) i think.

Default Hey there

Hey Tony,

I just bought a 2001 For Courier Turbo Diesel Dual Cab and i straight away put 31inch Maxxis Big Horn tyres on it. Looks awesome and yes she is still tail happy but i have found that it is really good on the juice. I do feel asthough it needs another gear but.

What tyres do you have on it now?
Also i down sized the rim aswell as i had 16 inch rims i went to a 31/10.5/15
I wanted 33 inch tyres but there was no way they would fit. When i put on 31's i had to get the front tortion bars wound up so the tyres cleared my front bumper as they scraped.
32's would fit but you would have to trim ya bumper and get a suspension lift.

Dont no if any of that helped

Mel

thats the exact size of tire under my courier (02). only just fit, thats for sure. they sometimes catch on the inner guard at full articulation and full lock, but not by enough to worry about. mine had 15's standard so it was an easy swap. put the speedo out about 5%, my courier is (in my opinion anyway) very poor on fuel and getting worse. am in the middle of tracking down why because it is still going well.
