    I really like my 255/85r16 Bighorns. Bit slow up the hills being n/a but acceleration is quick enough to outpace 200tdis! I also run 7.50r16 michelin road treads at times, can hardly notice a difference on road.

    x3 on the 255/85s. Your speedo will read accurately, and if you add a turbo you won't notice the slight diameter increase (except for the increased clearance over the salisbury diff).

    True... However on remote trips I carry one spare wheel + a 2nd spare tyre, tyre levers and patch kit. I have never needed to use any of the above for my vehicle.

    265/75s are slightly smaller than 7.50s or 235/85s.

    255/85/16 is a very popular choice for Defenders / Countys. They're a good 'all round' size, not too big and not too small. It's quite common to fit them to offset Disco 1 steel wheels.
