beside AT or MT palavour. 235/85R16 will fit neatly under the arches, if you want something more wider than a 7.50

235/85 is the most commonly used size for utility Land Rovers (Defenders, and Series).  It's a good size too, not too big, but not too small.  :D

Next question what do you drive over? as that'll affect what you pick.

if you fit 235/85r16 the rears will catch the rear tub brace bar up in the arch on full articulation.  Does not have a detremental effect though just a little rubbing noise.

Yer, that already occurs when due to the 7.50's, fitting new tyres and wheels will give me a wider offset so will not have as much trouble with the width of tracks. So if any body is interested in a set of 7.50's x4 General SAGs radials on 5.5 rims (tubed) i have only done about 1000 miles, x1 greenway chaco 7.50 on a 5.5 rim (tubed) and a spare 5.5 rim no tyre, as they will be for sale shortly.

I run 265/75's on the 109, slight rubby noises when loaded up with kit.
Only stick out slightly as well.

Well, time is almost up to decide where to place my order and what of... I am seriously considering the BF Goodrich M/T as I know they will last me a good number of years or so... But I just need convincing the advantages outweigh the intial  price. Or is there any other options for M/T for a series. Good quality preferably not retreads, or now days are re-treads as good as new tyres  :?:

Thanks Matt
