Default Classic 18's tyre size?
The wagon is running 215/35 toyos at the moment which is the recommended size I understand from Ron and Keith. Not looking to change them until they run down but is anyone running either a 40 profile or even a 225 that has a view on how they behave?

35 are the correct profile.
I run 225/35 on a 8 inch rim.

Yours are 7.5 iirc.

Is that real? That looks like some dodgy repair you'd do out on the field when you've got to improvise due to not having the right tools
