235/85R16 will be fine on your defender, with the special tracs you may get some cntact with the arches on articulation.
If you just get a less aggressive mud terrain, you could have 265/75R16 which is slightly wider but the same height.
Or to confuse things even more, if you trin some bodywork, 33" tyres will fit with no lift  :-#

I have 265/75R16 Insa special tracks on modular rims. get slight rubbing on extreme articulation - no damage as yet! I'm using standard front springs and 20mm HD bearmach rears with standard shocks. It goes places lifted discos can't!

hi there

just wondering what are the benefits of 265/75x16 as opposed to 235/85x16 other than appearance i.e road holding, off-road performance,road noise and comfort. it would be nice to get some opinions before i spend my hard earned cash


cheers kevin

Flotation! In effect a bigger "footprint" so reduces the pressure on the ground and reduces sinking into the surface.
