are 235 85 r16 the same as 7.50 R16?

<< < (2/2)

Tony F:
265/75s are virtually the same diameter too (2mm less than 235/85), although wider still at 265mm / 10.43 inches

All three sizes (7.50, 235/85 and 265/75) have been standard on 110's and optional on 90's

Standard size on a 90 is 205 (actually 205/80).

And for what it's worth 205/80 is the same diameter as a 235/70 which is why Land Rover fitted both to Discos

My 90 currently runs 235/70s as it runs Disco alloys but I have a 205/80 spare (less strain on the door hinges, I think of it like a "spacesaver" spare wheel fitted to many modern cars)

My 90 has 205/70/16's and I've just got hold of a set of 235/70/16 Greenway Machos MTs.

For clarity of anyone who doesn't know how tyre sizes are worked out the rule is.
Tyre Width/Pofile as a percentage of tyre width/Rim diameter. so 235/70/16's would be: 235 mm wide 70% of 235mm high and fitted to a 16"rim which gives you a total wheel size of  235/100 x 70 = 164.5mm x 2 =329mm (12.95") + 16" = 28.95" or approx 29"
