Ran my old 130 tubeless on tube type rims for fifteen years, as have quite a few of the fellas on here without issue.

The bead is really wide, and look at it this way, what is holding the tyre on the rim if you puncture a tube??
I've rolled a tyre clean off the rim having had a puncture at 100km/h through a corner.
After that incident I started running tubeless on the recommendation of my old tyre service and never looked back.
Ran the 255/85's at 25/26 psi on gravel chucking the old girl around like a rally car and never rolled a tyre off a rim.

Problem is most tyre places won’t fit tubeless tyres to tubed rims without a tube
Wolf tubeless rims are reasonably priced, the factory offset for a 130, solid and easy to get
Land Rover Perentie/Defender200/300/TD5/Puma Wolf Heavy Duty Steel Rim GENUINE

What brand of 285 tyres were "floaty"?

I run the my 285 MTZ's at 38 psi on the highway and go as low as 12 psi and never had a floaty feel.

Nice tip MRB, thankyou. they are reasonably priced.
If I was sensible I'd order them now
These widey advocates have been making some progress on me though
The tyre mob rang me today and I pretty much committed to 7" zero offset and they were going to order in 235 and 265 and we were going to put them on and have a look.
If I get those wheels I should be able to fit 235, 255, 265 so that's versatile.
We'll see how that pans out. They didn't have an account with Infinity so I'm curious to see what they do.

Im running same size in Toyo Open Country MT. My wheels are 8 inch and -5 offset
Essentially same pressures as you.(37 psi on road)
For me they are a good size and no float either.

Maxxis All Terrains. Dont remember exact model

Interesting, Slunnie reckoned his 285/75's feel much nicer/less vague on road than some 255/85's he tried in his D2, but I still love the 255's on the Deefer.
