any recommendations before i waste money on some crap ones:doh: , it will have to be a couple of budget ones so have been looking at the likes of the toyo tranpath 205/80 -16 , or the yokahama G012,they are mainly used for on road but nice to have an option.

cheers in advance peeps

My old RRC had Michelin M&S 205/70 x 16 (standard fitment) all it's life without any problems, why do u want 80's?

just replacing like for like , at the moment its running nankang wide conquerer a/t's and kumho venturer in that size , is there a good and valid reason for change to 205/70's apart from them having a thinner wall profile as to be honest it doesnt suffer from body roll , it wanders a bit at 65+ but apart from a persistant annoying squeak that i have yet to find the source of which i thought was a wheel bearing but jacked up all 4 wheels and no play top to bottom or side to side:confused:

The two std sizes (which give an almost identical rolling radius) are 205/80/16 & 235/70/16.


I can tell you that they handle MUCH better on 235's

okeydokey , so assuming the 235's are suitable without mods to the body , any particular makes and types to look to as a good allrounder , preferably that are no more than £60.00 ish each:D

Camskill do General AT²'s which are one of the best tyres you could fit, for £74 each..................and they'll last for years !!!!!
 
Don't mix ya tyres always try to have 4 matching tyres, If yu can. trying to get a landy to drive straight and hold the road properly is bad enuff without adding different tyre treads to the mix.
