I'm after a set of Wheels and AT Tyres for road use on my Defender.
Ideally with an overall diameter of 31" or greater.

Something Like:
31/10.5/R15
285/75/R16
OR anywhere upto 33" overall.

I want to take my 33" MT's off during road use to help with the ride and fuel economy and to reduce wear on the MT's.

I can collect anywhere within 50miles of Bristol.
Or will arrange a courier at my cost.

If you bothering to have have another set, why not just get some road tyres ?

As they will be used 90% of the time, I will still need a decent amount of offroad capability.
It gets used alot for hauling logs and wood and heavy towing across fields so I need the peace of mind.

I will just be sticking the MT's on when I go to PnP or on a specific greenlane trip.

I think the fuel saving and ride handling difference between MT's and AT's will be significant though. Unless anyone can tell me different.

Fairplay, if being used for very light off road why not even go for ATS just whatever the less aggressive pattern is, will find out what my mates got on his td5, there brilliant on sand light mud and snow and even better on the road!
