What about SSR Radial Super swamper, but don't know what size is the best between 285/75x16 (33.9" OD, 11.4"witdh) or 35"x10.5"x16...
Any opinion (or picts of 90" with those tyres?) :mad3:

Haha!

:spudnikparty:

Sweet 90, sorry, 92.9" Defender deslandes! Excellent post!

[Slunnie]

Thanks for the pics!

Not many run the Interco tyres on Land Rovers in Aus, its mostly the comp trucks or the harder Toyota drivers etc. I've never seen or heard of anyone running the SSR at all. Most here use the TSL, TSL/SX or the Bogger.
