Best tyres for Wolf rims on 90 bound for Morocco?

(1/5) > >>

DogVanMan:
I'm off to Morocco in October in my 90 on wolf wheels and thought I'd post a question about tyres.

I'm looking for AT's and not dissimilar diameter to 235/85/16. I will be using two existing BFG AT's that I have with decent tread in that size as spares (bonnet and back door) and I'm looking for a set of four new tyres.

Now.. the obvious thing to do is a set of the same again, but I'm tempted to get a set or 265/75/16 as they are very similar diameter (0.25% in it)and the spares will still be ok to use, albeit narrower.

So... two questions..

1) What size would you go for? (Will 265 be ok on the wolfs?)
2) BFG are obvious choice but any other suggestions?

Any suggestions most welcome! Ta!

265 aint ideal on a 6.5" rim, I would stay with the 235/85.  They look so cool wi' 2 spares on.......

DogVanMan:
Thanks Jim.

I'm still looking around for a bonnet mounting kit on the cheap (Or an old bonnet with one on!) - Can't believe how much they charge for a few bits of bracketry.. (I'm a Yorkshireman in exile - can't help myself)

Any more thoughts most welcome!

Should I stick with BFG A/T's? Or save some money with something else (There's a theme emerging here, isn't there..?!).

Anybody fitted 265 to wolfs? They are tubless rims incidentally.
