    Don’t go wider than 235/85R16...you want low pressure lengthening of tyre track, not widening. Toyo M55’s or AT’s, Bridgestone D661 or any good AT. I’ve just fitted Kumho AT51’s for a change because I got a good price, wanted an all round tyre. But if I was buying new tyres for Simpson or any big outback trip, I’d have trouble going past Bridgestone D661 - vey strong sidewalls, but compliant tyre. Or maybe I’d try M55’s. You dont need MT’s IMO.
    Have a great trip!

    Nothing wrong with the XZL's either. Almost any tyre is fine in sand as it's more a pressure thing.

    A mates 6 x 6 was running 750's on our last cross country Simpson jaunt and had no issues. I think they were Olympic Steeltreks on that trip.

    Absolutely - 7.50s extend lengthwise perfectly at low pressures. They’re just difficult to find these days.
