You do realise that 285's don't fit a factory rim - right?Quote:

With 7" rims,you will be less likely to roll the tyre off the bead at low pressure,than with an 8"rim.There are a lot of people on this forum that run 285/75/16 on 7" rims without any problems.Probably the preferred size on a Defender
Hell, I run what equates to 343mm wide tyres on 8" Rims and it has never ever ever given any issues, even down at 8psi with no beadlocks....
(Not road tyres however)
I still think the 255/85 is the ideal Defender all round size.
Heres a pic of my Defender on 255/85's at std height.

So very true :)
If there weren't so many hoppy, moo-y, bambi and baa-y things around these parts I'd love to build a bumper like that Pete :D
Keep out of peoples paddocks then Rick. Pat
Sorry, but that is BS. How/why is it dangerous?Quote:

I've managed to avoid them all so far thankfully!!Quote:
