Best tyres for Defender???

TGJR · Oct 9, 2008

I have just bought a 2007 90 Defender that has BF Mud terrains fitted. These are too off road orientated for my use which will be 70% road and off road use basically towing a horse box in fields and driving around farm fields. I was thinking about the BF All terrain, is this a good option? ALso, what is the correct size for the 16 inch alloy? Is it 235 70 or 235 80? Cheers

Ah must apologise. Yer right I couldn't find the answerr either.

We could do with a definitive guide that folks could refer to

I've got 265/75's on my Defender it throws the speedo out abit ( theres definetly freds on that) but no probs rubbin.

Admittedly they're on standard steel rims but they will still fit yer alloys

Hi all just a further question re.tyres. My def 110 is now currently fitted with 4 x BF Goodrich All Terrain T/A KO LT265/75 R16 120 / 116S on Steel Wheels.

Do you think I can replace my BFs with the standard Land Rover issued General Grabber 235/86R16 and keep the same wheels or will I need ot buy different size wheels too? Thanks in advance for any response - the clock on eBay is ticking!
