Seriously?
Never seen a tyre without the size marked on the wall

so I upgraded them to 7.50 r 16's with the g90 tread, much better look to the s3 now

keep wondering if 10.5's would fit too, trouble if I see pics of landies on here which have tyres I like its almost as if one has swam into the shallow end of the gene pool when I enquire about them, you tend to get assinine comments like "they are round rubbery ones"

All tyre have the size marked if the outer wall has been worn smooth (it happens) try reading the inside wall of the tyre.
10.5 = 265.

haven't a baldy I am afraid, i'm sure you are right though they were pretty big & wide wheels c.f a landy, the one I have now has a modern tire size.

Does anyone know if its possible to fit 195 80 16 tyres onto Lwb rims and what effect this will have on the gearing of a Swb s3 petrol. Im on my 7th series 3 and have tried alsorts of tyres and wheel combo's from tall 235 85 16's ( great in snow ) to some 205 70 15 inchers. Im thinking that a tall and thin tyre should be great in snow and give me decent mpg. I dont use the landy for anything more than getting to work in the snow, i live in west yorkshire and have managed to get out in all weathers with any tyre.

Too wide, either lose all your steering lock or have to have them spaced off out further than the bodywork.
235/85's...........same diameter but just sit in the arches
