Title: Series 11/111 tires
Post by: RossM on June 12, 2015, 08:06 PM
What tires are you guys using to fit the original 750x16 size rims?
My current tires are Generals I think? The truck is at the shop so I can't check on them. They are just light truck tires that have been on the truck for 20 years. Time for a change I'd say.
The Deestone D503 look the part but I don't know what they would drive like or where one could get them locally.

Any advice would be appreciated.
Thanks
Ross

Most people use 235/85R16 size. It is a bit wider and the same diameter and available in a lot of models.

What are you wanting as far as capability?

That's the closest to stock from my Defender and what I use.   I'm using a Michelin LT ice radial on it when I'm not taking it off road.   I don't know what tyre they're using on the new defenders but it's a nice looking AT model...but my view may have been spoiled when I was driving in it drooling on the seats :-)
