DLlandy Member Dec 19, 2007 #1 Hi I want to replace my Pirrelli Scorpion AT, 235 85/16 My shortlist is General AT2, BFG AT or Goodyear Wrangler MTR ( i have had mtr before) Most of the miles are road use, but I don't want to be stuck when I hit mud as happens with the Pirrelli's. Any advice on the tyres?

DLlandy Member Dec 24, 2007 #3 Thanks, One other query. Should I fit the 235/85's or go for the larger 265/75's, would the larger tyres make any difference to mpg?

S stig New Member Dec 24, 2007 #4 the 265's will create more drag, so will use more fuel and be slower in the end.
DLlandy Member Dec 24, 2007 #6 This is my problem, i know they will look better wider and I am leaning towards the Goodyear MTR's
DLlandy Member Dec 28, 2007 #7 Thanks for the info so far. Has anyone tried 255/80/16's on their defender?
bez_man New Member Dec 30, 2007 #8 yea but wont bigger tyres mean less revs to achieve cruising speed, because theres more circumference to the tyre?
