Hi all, just after a bit of advice, personal opinions and recommendations...

I currently have a set of Yokohama Geolander A/Ts on my TDi300 on Freestyles, 235/70/16 which are getting ready for replacing.

I'm considering going up a size to 265/70/16s, mainly because I think they look better and give them a better presence on the road. I do mainly tarmac work in it, but do the occasional field work on grass and a bit of mud, but nothing too challenging.

Any thoughts please and where's a good place to buy from?

Cheers ;-)

Black round ones....
preferably round all the way, not just at the top.

The BFG T/A in 235/85 is a generally popular and recommended tyre, and has been for years. Seems to be good on and off road.

Anything will do if all you want is looks and presence, so just pick something you like the look of .. occasional and not too challenging suggests even AT's might be overkill ...

I do pull a 2 ton trailer in and out of county show grounds, and have struggled a few times before when its been muddy - I just didn't want a full mud tyre which generates loads of road noise and makes the steering feel like I'm stirring a vat of stu!
