What size tyre on 3 spoke alloys ?
Range Rover Blues:
Given that the OE fitment were 205R16 why would you want soemthing so big? 235/70/16 are a good popular size which keep the price down. If you go too big you risk loosing grip in the sticky stuff and in snow/ice or heavy rain.

not 235 85 16 ??
I want better off road performance as thats where its mostly used,i thought wider tyres would be better as well as the extra height,as the defenders are fitted with 265's standard i thought they would be ok,and traction control and ABS should cope with the snow and ice,but i am after an opinion on this as i know little about landrovers so i value everyones opinion who knows what they are doing with rangie's.
So rr blues,you would reccomend 235 85 16 no bigger ?

Have got an 89 RR with 2" lift. My recommendation would not to go any larger than the 235\85-16's. I have two sets of tires (the yank way), one set is Grizzly Claw and they did do damage to the rear arches so they have been trimmed down. The other set is Firestone MT's and have had no problem with them, if I would have chosen these in the first place I would not have had to trim the arches. '
The 235\85 do look a bit skinny but they will get to the bottom of the mucky stuff and allow the tire to work. I have been very pleased with both of my set ups

Forgot to mention that the Grizzly Claws are on steel modulars and the MT's are on the alloys.
