Did Land Rover every offer a tyre option of 750 x 16" for the Range Rover?
I'm sure I read it somewhere but I can't find it now.
-
Sounds odd as most had turned metric by then, but more then likely did just to please farmers who already had stocks of 7.50’s
-
I doubt they would fit on a standard RRC, I have 235/85 on ours and they only just fir with a 2" lift, plus the gearing is way too tall now and the brakes are......interesting.

750x16 or 750r16 was never a std or recommended fit on the RR classic. It was however fitted, I believe, to the Camel Trophy RRs (Michelin XCL) with the appropriate body mods.

Thanks for the replies so far and I concur with what has been said. I just had it in my mind that I'd read about 750's being a factory option on the early two door Ragies but cant remeber where I read it or maybe it just my memory playing up.

My handbook lists 205R16 and 225/70R16. I have 235/70R16 muds, the steering stop needed a slight adjustment on one side. Height is virtually same as 205, my suspension is stock.

Very early 70's RR's were run on 7.50's (Firestone SATs, I believe, as it's been around a long time), but only for demonstration useage, not as a customer option. I can probably find pictures of them fitted in someof my old books
7.00x16 was the Michelin XCL size used for the Camel Trophy on RR & Discovery

OK guys thaks for the replies. It looks like they were never offered as a factory option by Rover.
