Hi everyone!
Being new to the land rover world and nearing completion on my swb series 3 restoration, I was after some help on tyre choice please!
I need 5 tyres (about 205) to fit on some 5.5.x16 rims, could do with being rather cheap as my budget is limited at the mo, and they will be used mostly for on-road use.
Any suggestions on choice and suppliers would be gratefully recieved!
If anyone happens to have any new ones lying around spare and wants to sell them...

Thanks,

Den

Goodyear traileagle's 750 x 16 (Old system)
Cheep, good (75% road 25% off road) and about the size your landy would have been supplied with.
