AFAIK only BFG MT and Maxxis Big Horn 762 and maybe one Interco.
Was told Cooper had dropped the ST in that size, but it'd be worth checking.

in my humble opinion but bearing in mind opinions are like belly buttons the only tyres to fit to a lr are bfg (B F goodrich) having used both their mud terrain and all terrain I have never found an all round tyre to equal them

THX Rick - I find this size just perfect for the Defender.

Do you have Maxxis yet? I know you were talking about them a while back.

I have the Maxxis Bighorns fitted to the Rangie.

They go alright actually.
I thought wear was an issue - they are a cheap tyre afterall @ $225 ea fitted. (Sep 2006)

I measured actual tread depth after 12,000 km - worst was 10mm and best was 12mm. Nothing to write home about but nowhere near as bad as I thought.
