9.00 16 Tyres

I just checked a old post
Cooee was running 38.5x14.5 Maxxis creepy crawlers which are too large as I dont need to gear up my 101 any more.(dont want to add flares either)
They are Bias tyre too.
they make a smaller 37x12.5 tyre but the recommended rim needs to be 10 inch ?
M8090 Creepy Crawler

Just a heads up - I have changed my graphic for the Land Rover Series/Defender rims to include the early Defender 110/130 rim part numbers.

Hopefully the old link will now redirect to the new graphic, but if it doesn't it's out of my control.

As some people with other landies have been getting good prices and service from TireRack.Com in the US for their tires I thought I would contact them for prices on 9.00x16 and specifically Michelin XZL 255/100 16.

Unfortunately they do not stock anything for a 101.

For your information.

can you get them in the UK?

I suppose so - similar price to Aust where TireRack have a reputation of providing tires to your door within a week or so cheaper than can be supplied in Aust.

Have you tried 4 wheel parts? Jeep & Truck Tires ? BFGoodrich, Super Swamper, Pro Comp and Other Off Road Truck & Jeep Tires-RH1

They have Super swamper SSRs in a 35x10.5x16 and TSLs in a 9/34 and Q78 size which would fit a 101.

They may do other tyres which would also fit, as they specialise in 4x4 tyres unlike tirerack.

Thanks,

I think those sizes are a bit wide for a 6.5" rim.

a 9/34 is 9" wide ;)
A Q78-16 is almost identical in size to a 9.00x16 - about 36x9.5 ;)

As you have indicated Swampers might be the go

This listing has the Q78-16 fitting a 6.5" rim

Except that they are listed as 35.5" where the Michelin XZL 255/100 R16 are listed at 36.4" (923mm). Technical tyre catalogue
And more importantly the Swamper 2580? load whereas the XZL 3400Kg
