Shorty - REAL 7.50s are 32-32.5" in an offroad pattern.

The reason that larger tyres make it more likely to break things is (IMHO) related to torque rather than weight.

a- how low can you safely run tyre pressures off road before you run the real risk of running the tyre and tube off the rim? I have been told about 20 psi which sounds about right, but would like to know what others think/have experienced ;)

b - if I fit a tubeless tyre in say 235/85/16 will it be safe to run it at 15-20psi off road on these rims considering the bagging of the sidewalls and the security of the beads on the early steel rim

:)

depending on how your driving IVe regularly been known to go down to 8 psi which at one stage was what I was running on the sundown trip and Ive been known to goto 4psi to help out with recovery work.

the general consesnsus for tubed or tubeless tyres is about 15psi

Do Cooper still make the ST in that size too ?

In "Rustic" the Defe I have 2 sets.
One set is on standard Defender rims with Pirelli Scorpion 750R 16 tyres
The second set are Maxxis Buck Shot 235-85-16 on RR alloy rims.
I like both sets but for long trips I prefer the tubeless Maxxis.
The Pirelli tyres are less noise but not have the grip of the Maxxis
The Maxxis are in Bob Jane for about $ 200.00 each

Mark, the best solution is get 2 sets ;)

They may do in the states but I was told twice that I couldn't get them here. Pat
