Thread: New tyres for Defender???

BrownDogRider - is this tyre calculator any good for your calculations?

Tire Size Calculator - tire & wheel plus sizing

You just put in the profile and rim size etc and it gives you stats like this:

Stock Tire - 235/85R16 >Search Tires
Section Width:9.25 in/235 mm
Rim Diameter:16 in/406.4 mm
Rim Width Range:6 - 7 in
Overall Diameter:31.72 in/805.68 mm
Sidewall Height:7.86 in/199.64 mm
Radius:15.86 in/402.84 mm
Circumference:99.65 in/2531.1 mm
Revs per Mile:655.7

After all my calcing and than checking out Spudboy's Tyre sizing calculator, I think I'll take Vlads original advice and go for the 255/85r16s. Vlad, you are dead right about the speedo reading being right after fitting this tyre.

I now understand how he can post without a internet connection, etc etc, reel off tyre sizes at random regardless of make and model etc etc etc etc etc etc etc - he mascarades as "The Vlad" but really he is "The Magical Vlad", who possess wisdom and instantainous magical knowledge of all things Land Rover.

And I shall refer to you from this point on, and encourage all to refer to him as "Lord Magical Vlad".

Well - until he stuffs up anyway.
