MuddyMachine:
Im putting on 235/85/16 scorpion muds, have the tyres just need the rims now.
Have a 1" lift so will expect I will have to cut the arches.

no not at all

you need to cut the arches to run 33 s though

scorpio:
I have 235/85/16 khumo's on my Discovery and they are really good on both the road and in the mud. I asked about the speed rating b4 I got them and was told they was fine for my 300TDi but I wouldnt know how to check if they was lieing anyway.

I paid just over £65 a corner for mine.

muddyweb:
According to the US Kumho website, they are 'Q' rated... which is indeed fine for 200 and 200 Tdi Discos, and Defenders

 There are 2 schools of thought you chose one i chose the other.I personally dont buy into the thinner digs through to the earths core line...i have had 10.5's and the werent any better. The 12.5's are better at lower pressures on rocks etc...not that there is much of that in the uk
If you notice mine are bfg's not monster aggressive ones...which are better rated by LRO- infact they say they are the best mt available!?! according to them.
Try and find 10 inch wide 35's...unless you want simex...which are poor on the road.

HOWDY, LOOKING AT THE SPEC OF YOUR MOTOR I'M NOT SURPRISED YOU GET WHERE YOU WANT TO,BUT ABILITY TO 'READ' THE LAND IS ALSO A GREAT ADVANTAGE AND YOU MAY WELL BE BLESSED WITH IT. IN THE WORLD OF OFF-ROADING ETC THEY'RE ARE NO HARD AND FAST RULES,1 DISCO CAN SUCCEED WHERE 5 DEFENDERS FAIL OR A £250 SUZUKI CAN MAKE A £25,000 IBEX LOOK DAFT.
I WAS POINTING OUT THAT IN GENERAL NARROW TYRES PERFORM BETTER OFFROAD AND ARE EASIER TO FIT PLUS 235/85's BECAUSE OF THEIR POPULARITY ARE CHEAP AND PLENTIFUL.VERY IMPORTANT WHEN YOU CAN RIP A SIDEWALL PLAYING.
I ALSO AGREE THAT BFG's ARE THE BEST BUT YOU GET WHAT YOU PAY FOR IN THIS WORLD.
I'VE JUST PUT A SET OF BFG AT's ON MY 300tdi AND THEY'RE OVER-SIZE  :shock: AT 255/70/16 WHICH LOOK COOL BUT AT THE EXPENSE OF STEERING LOCK (£150 FOR 4 BRAND NEW-CAN'T GO WRONG :D )

I WILL TAKE YOU UP ON YOUR OFFER WHEN I DECIDE WHAT TO DO WITH MY 200Tdi(IT'S NOT TAXED OR INSURED AT THE MINUTE.)HOWEVER IF IT'S NOT ALL EXTREME PAY AND PLAY STUFF I'LL COME IN THE 300 BUT I'M NOT ABOUT TO KNOCK HELL OUT OF IT,AND MY LITTLE LAD MISSES MUD.
WHERE DO YOU GO?
