Gt adventuro md 235 85 16 anyone know if any good on a series land rover as not sure what to go for gt or insa turbo Dakar remoulds
Any advice would be helpful

Both fairly standard MT patterns, you could mix and match on a Series and you probably wouldn't notice tbh. What sort of advice are you looking for?

Any good is a bit vague

Which ones to go for have gone and ordered a set so will find out

Depends what you want to do and where you will be driving. Personally I'd probably go with neither of those. But they are ok'ish.

What rims are you using? Standard Series rims are 5.5j and technically too narrow for 235's. And should you be in an accident, could cause issues with your insurance. You'll need some Defender LR rims at 6j wide or similar.

Only if the insurance can prove the tyres where directly responsible for the accident,

Could cause issue regardless. Might not, is unlikely... but the risk is there.

i was at a hardware store once and a man from England came up to me and said that you should go over 7.50x16 as anything larger will cause unnecessary wear on the wheel bearings and make it more likely to snap axles, i have even been told by a local man that he had a land rover with a Salisbury diff in the rear and he managed to snap the axle, i have 7.50x16 on my series 2a they are MRF brand made in India, i pay$230 for them they are the cheapest i can get that are non radial type, i will wear the front two but they are good on the rear i get about 4 to 5 years out of them.

I have defender wheels which will have these tyres for a local club site which gets very muddy and I use my 109 rims with 235 85 16 std road tyres for road use which is a good swop for 7.50 16

I think for a mud tyre you'll be able to do better in that case. When you say club site, is this trialing?

No not traling a bit like cuddys in faversham just do what parts you want
