I appologise if this topic has been discussed to death, but my 2006 defenders tyres are approaching retirement. They are the standard 235/85R16 General Grabbers. My dilema is what to replace them with. The vehicle is used mainly onroad with the occasion offroad jaunt. The BFG A/T seem a good compromise, but what is the best size? Older defenders, such as the 50th special use 265/75R16, which asthetically suit the vehicle better. What are the pros/cons of this size over the 235's?

i put 235 on my defender 110 because they where alot cheaper (than 265) thats was my reason (rarely go off road) still goes off road fine when i go. and a put kingpin retreads a very close tread pattern to bfg A/T.
hope this helps.

Not much difference between those two sizes. I'd just get whichever are the best price.

Iv got an 05 90 with general grabbers on and iv done 37K on them can i ask what milage you have done on yours so i can get a rough idea on when i will need to change mine.

Iv noticed the fronts are much more worn than the rear though.
