yes its metric, try googling tyre size converter and strictly speaking 8 spokes are a style of modular rim........call me crazy but google images can also be kinda useful

No it isn't it's imperial 31" tyre diameter, 10.5" tyre width 15" rim diameter.
It's how USA mark their larger tyres.

I'd don't know the origin of the tyre size maybe it's an older measurement or more American??
31 means the tyre height/diameter in inches
10.50 is the width in inches
R means radial
15 is the rim size in inches
It's more of a pure imperial measurement but doesn't tell you sidewall height specifically. Although you could argue you don't need it if you know the total height and the rim size.
The more common tyre size measurement is actually a mix of metric and imperial, eg 235/85R16
235 is the width in mm
85 is the profile so the height of the sidewall. This means 85% of width in this case
R means radial
16 is the rim size in inches
8 spokes and modular rims are very similar. 8 spokes are what they say, they have 8 spokes. My blue Disco posted earlier in the thread is on 8 spokes.
Modular I guess are names as they are made from more than one bit of metal and assembled. Many have small bolts running around the edge. However there are many which look similar but look a lot like Landy steel rims with holes cut out.
In short it's mosty a style/look thing, no real advantage disadvantage from either.

THE BEST Mud tyre is MAXICRCROSS or Tractor pattern neithe are load legal.
Good all rounder go with insa almost the same tread pattern as simex and far far cheaper. What Ratty has done is a common mod and are ar better than Khumo road slicks.
Fedima 35 inch are actually beating Simex at comps. I never realised they were 35s as theyre actually measure 336.5.
235 85 R16 would fit perrrfect on a 110 no mods steering stops maybe but would be great IMO.

Anyone tried any Insa Turbo Dakar mud terrain tyres? I'm considering a set of 235/70r16 for my defender as Simmonites do a fairly good deal. I know they're remoulds but for winter off roading (Shooting ground) they look fine.
Any thoughts?

Hi Doug
Yes the old BFG mud terrain copies not a bad tyre for an all rounder sorta 70% offroad 30% road. I know Classic Kev has them and he does a fair few road miles and he likes them and rates them alot.

sorry to drag up an old thread but i dont want to start yet another tyre one,
im after people experiances of the fedima f/power, preferably if someone has had them,
ive been warn off remolds as my local tyre fitter (who also has a defender) tryed some insa's and he said the were far heavyer and used way more fuel and remold are a faulse econemy,

Nowt wrong with Insa's great tyres. think ya local tyre fitter is talking out of HIs derriere, myself..
I have Coppers SST, but like all of them when they are full of MUD it makes little differance. I want the, ones they put on dumper trucks.
how do they fair on road ? whats the wear rate like?
