Not another tyre question
muck_truck:
got a simple question.
ive got a Defender 90 going to use it as a second car for green lanning pay and plays etc. so not much road use, only driving to and from lanes.. maybe a few trips to the tip and B&Q when i need stuff, ive messed up my every day car enough doing them trips!
what tyres would you recommend sticking on 16/7 modular rims?
235 85 16 or 265 75 16
colway MTs or Insa turbo special tracks.
got no suspension mods yet.
help a new member please.. :lol:
(i have spent a few hours searching and reading the forum already on this subject)

Personally it all depends whether you can afford/are allowed a second set of cheap road/AT wheels+tyres for use on the road. I use cheap set AT which do for green laning.
If so then I would go for the more aggresive, directional tread tyres like Insa Turbo special tracks, Recip trail/3D etc.
If not and only one set of tyres for everything then a less aggresive MT like the colways would probably be a lot better to live with.
It depends how often and far you go to DIYs etc.

Well i will have a spare set of wheels cause im buying the modulars. so could have a spare set of road tyres.
But really wont be using the landy for much else appart from offroad use. suppose lanes and P&P's are anything between 15 - 100 mile away.
anyone used the colways in 265 width ?

I've got BFG Mud Terrain's on mine. They're bloody good off-road and pretty well behaved on the tarmac - I think they are 235 85 R16's but would need to check. If there is a better tyre for off-roading (assuming you don't do many miles on road) then I'd like to see it !!! Great all-rounders.
Mine have done about 25K miles and there's still loads of tread on em.
