Also it can be used as an emergency winch with a few bits of extra kit and some ... |

The thing to remember is Watts = volts x amps
Therefore amps = watts/volts

Are you sure they're not 265/75 R 16? which are about 31.6" (near identical to 235/85 which I have).

Hmmm! was thinking of new tyres/wheels for playdays but are 285/75s a straight bolt on? Or is a suspension lift required?
By my calculations that's 833.9mm/32.8" diameter as opposed to 805.9mm ... |

It's an event I have always fancied doing.
When is it next year, how much, where do I get more details?
