Tyre Size on P38

[bwieske]

Hi All,
I've currently got the 1996 Range Rover HSE and am stuck with some rims and tyres I don't really like. 235/70/R16.
I'm interested in getting some more aggressive looking tyres for some off road stuff but have been told to stick with the size I've got due to potential problems with diffs, overdrive gearing etc.
I'm hoping someone out there has gone through all this already and can give me some guidance on what sizes I can safely go to. I'm also prepared to consider a whole new rim and tyre package as I like to look of the P38's with bigger rims.
Any info would be great!
Thanks

I'm currently using 245/75R16 Cooper ST. However, I have seen a better size on another car recently but I can't remember whose! :confused:

They may have been 255/70R16

what is the exact size of the muddies you're going to and what's the reason for changing for all terrains to muddies? anything specific? its just that i was leaning towards all terrains since i use the car every day for work but i prefer the look of the muddies.

I think Hardy from HardRange was on 32's also.
