What is the standard Defender tyre size?

**p38arover** · 8th April 2006, 05:31 PM

I'm trying to sort something out for Edd (George130) and I don't want him getting out of bed.

Would someone tell me the metric tyre size(s) for the Defender 110 and 130?

My County has 7.50R16 but that is no longer listed on Goodyear's site so I can't work out the theoretical diameter, circumference, etc. I want to plug various tyre sizes into a tyre size comparison table.

I think the standfard is either 235/75/16 or 225/75/16
but 7.50 R16 is correct. standard light truck tyres.
I have two set of rims ron the ones on the rig right now are 7.5 inch
The other set are 5.5 inch
standard for the 130 are 6.5

I'm off to bed again now. Fredom time is up and the day. I will get a chance tomorrow I hope. Wife is letting me have short bursts on the computer as long as I take my drugs and sty in bed all the rest of the time.
