the series i drove,was in the army,various types.tyres i could care less about then.more concerned about getting shot at,or blown up.
I think if you get a flat tyre your chances of being shot at or blown up may increase!

the tyres we had fitted to our landys,they never had punctures,well i never had one,or saw one.I think if you get a flat tyre your chances of being shot at or blown up may increase!
You may find that a modern 235/85 16 tyre is the correct rolling diameter for a 109 but OP mentioned 7.50.

but if you look up the correct tyres,for that particular vehicle,it gives you that tyre size,depending on the wheels fitted to it.

The Range rover came out originally on 205 r16 Michelin X m&s reinforced , they were the only tyre available , and had been specially made by Michelin
The 109 came on 750 x 16 cross plies , the 88 came on 600x16 , or had an option for 750x16 again all cross ply . Later the 109 had a 750r 16 . The 88 had a 205r16 option .
The correct tire for a 109 other than a 1 ton ( which had 900x16 ) was 750 x 16 , as I posted earlier the closest to this on width for the land rover standard rim is a 235/85 r 16 or for diameter (circumference ) is a 265/75 r 16 , although this would work better on the wider rims. HTSH

.but the op,said 750,not 7.50
I'm based in Slovenia and I've bought and restored Series 3, 109, Station Wagon from 1972 and the person at the homologation didn't knew his business and wrote in the official homologation papers that my Series 3 should have the same kind of tires as Lada Niva, that's 175, 80, R16! That's literally half the tires that supposed to be, 750 R16. You can imagine how ridicules it looked!
