Sorry for the interrogation but i am looking at buying some new tyres soo too!!!

Hi Neil

I have had them since last June. They are fine on the road, you get a bit of hum from them but I don't find it too bad. I've only done about 4,000 miles on them so a bit earlier to tell about the wear, although there are no signs of any where yet

Not sure where you are but if it helps I got them from Frogs Island 4x4 in Milton, Oxfordshire.  About £90 each IIRC

I'm in the progress of lifting my Disco, and once its done I'll be getting a set of 235/85 R16 Cooper STT's.  Prices vary widely, so shop around.  John Craddock and Formula 4 are some of the best prices at the moment (just over £90 each), and always  a fair few quid cheaper than BFG's.  Heard nothing but good reviews from people who use them, both on and off-road.  Also keep your eye on www.tyrespec.co.uk for prices, sometimes have good deals.

I currently run a standard size set of Cooper ST's (bit more than AT's but not quite MT's), done well over 20,000 miles and looking at the wear on them they'll do 40 if not 50k probably.  Brilliant tyres, well chuffed with them (and only £69 each fitted at Billing 18 months ago!).

Cheers,
Nat

Thanks Steve, i am from Leicestershire. I am tempted to wait and got to one of the shows and get some there!, save me having to fit them myself..

ian101:
Hi all, was looking for some advice on rim width?
Currently have 235's on a 7" rim = standard set up

I am thinking of fitting a wider tyre either a 255 or 265 (MT), if so what would be the correct width of rim to use. 7" 8" or 10"

Thanks
Ian
