Thread: Rangie 235/70R16 tyre options?

Can anyone suggest good tyres to replace my standard 205’s fitted on our RR Classic 16in alloys? Intended use includes 80% shopping cart, 10-15% beach fun and 5-10% mud/rock fun.

I read somewhere that the 235/70R16 has the same rolling radius as the original 205’s so performance issues are not a problem.

Options so far include - Bridgestone Dueller A/T D694 or Michelin Synchrone but someone suggested Michelins are not good value for money?

Any comments from experienced users welcome.

You can use this link to calculate the diameter differences:

It's mainly for cars, so you can't use it for the really big stuff :? .
Michelins have a good reputation for long life on the road but a good road tyre is always a compromise off road.
I run the Michelin RadialX 4x4 in the 235/70 size on my RR - very nice on the road. I've used them for a bit of rocky work but the tread gets knocked around a bit.
