So I sold my wheels and tyres there yesterday but now need new ones to go on the original wheels.
Any suggestions folks???

I do like the look of these plus Craddock's have them at a decent price too!

I might have a look at those for my 1984 ex-military 109. I would like something close to the original military tread, but I don't suppose they are available nowadays.

The choice does seem to be a little limited...

They are what I have on mine. Would second that recommendation.

You want deestone extra traction tyres. These are the same tread as the Goodyear extra grip originally fitted by the military.

Not really, 7.50’s we’re a standard factory fitment on lwb for both petrol and diesel models the closest metric equivalent of which is 235/85/16. Unless you are looking to fit a non-series oversized tyre how does the engine make a difference?

Lwb and swb use the same engine, and lwb is heavier, so the engine will be more than capable of pulling 7.50’s. Whereas originally the swb would have been fitted with 6.00 tyres or metric 205’s they are not as easy to find anymore but the lwb 7.50 and equivalent are still common and regularly fitted to swb models.

I replaced my deestone extra traction for rangemasters was about £450 for 4 inc had Michelin tubes from ATS , so much quieter and better road holding

Nat all wolf wheels are tubless, so if you do this you have to be careful. I have wolf wheels on my series but they are the tubed version.
