I have a Defender 90 and have been running 235/85/16 tyres and have just purchased two 750/16 tyres can I run with eg 750/16 on the front axle and 235/85/16 on the rear axle with no problems ?
I have been informed they are virtually the same size .
Fitting the larger on the rear probably looks better, however the fronts do more work (steering and weight transfer when braking) so in theory they would be better on the front for normal road use. Probably no difference in the real world.

I would measure the actual diameters, make sure they are the same actual size, or close together. The sizes on the sidewall are nominal sizes, not real sizes.
Width shouldn't make too much difference, provided the difference isn't ridiculously huge.
