yep as rich said 7.50x16 is the old imperial size.

you could also fit 235/85R16, or 265/70R16
31x10.5R15 would also fit.

BFG AT's are great but with your low mileage and the 5 yr thing its a waste...a set of BFG AT's should easy do 60k plus.

Look around, General Grabber TR's are pretty good, i think they come as standard on new defenders.

Ser3 J:
Guys,

Thanks - I will look at 235/85R16s and although I love BFG ATs - they would be a waste...

The ACR 2.8 (Petrol 2.25 bored out) gives about 117Bhp and 177lb-ft of torque - I thought that was still within the capabilities of a good series 'box?

Thanks again- Im off to Abingdon now  :D

Rich_P:
Oh right, I thought you were talking about the 2.8 TDi.  :oops: Anyway, that kind of output is outside the limits of the standard Series transmission.  It can have that amount of torque, and they do last okay if you're good with clutch and power control but don't expect things to not go bang (such as a gearbox mainshaft) with such high amounts of torque from the engine.

Canada Al:
Eh ! What new tyre laws ?

Ser3 J:
As I understand it - th UK is to adopt (2007?) the European rules ref tyre life - ie each tyre should have a month/year date stamped on it and it will be illegal to have anything over 5 years old and this will be checked during the MOT.

I am more than happy if I am wrong - but that is what I have read and had 'confirmed' by my local tyre place...  :roll:
