--- Quote ---With 265/70 R16 what width rims should I be using. I've been given a set of Pirelli's only done 2,000m. Will they fit on Disco 1 steel wheels, they are 7" wide?

7" should be ok although you should use 7.5"

Are Discovery 1 Steel rims 7"???? may ve worth checking

Spyderman:

--- Quote from: climbingchris ---get some 750r16 Michelin XZL's on it they're a fantastic tyre.


I've got Michelin XCL 7.50R16 at the moment, great off road, but a bit scary on tarmac, especially if it's wet. Will keep the XCL's for off road and use the Pirelli's for day to day on road. They are Scorpion Ice & Snow, so not so good in the summer, but come the Winter :D

I've found the XZL's to be pretty good on the road as well as off it, maybe my truck won't go fast enough to be scary  :lol:

ian_s:
my old 7.50 XCLs were fun in the wet.
and when i say fun, i mean brown trouser fun.
when i put the 200tdi in they just couldnt take the power and kept wheel spinning. i've taken them off for now, gonna save em for drift racing  :lol:

Lucy1978:
I guess XZL's are a better design than XCL's then, maybe that's why the military use them now.
