Whats the concensus on trailer tyres? I spend a fair bit of time on the dirt, more in a touring capacity than a bush bashing one.

Looking forward to your opinions.

Oh, and if anyone has tyres in good nick to suit please let me know.

ATs would be a minimum I reckon, I have muds(BFG KM2s) on my camper, mainly because I already had them.

There are a fair few for sale in the markets, in all sizes and types.

Just down this on my trailer. Gone for a set of A/T's on mine. It had some 750 16's on it which are getting hard to get, so I got an equivalent sized A/T - can't remember what size that worked out to and I'm away at the moment, so I can't go and have a look, but they were only about 3mm difference in diameter. I still have a very good 750 16 I have kept for a spare.

Browsed the marketplace, no luck there.

ATs would be perfect. If worst comes to worst Ill buy em new. I need 4. (2 on the trailer and two spares).

Anyone have a good resource for trailer land rover hubs in sydney? Or do I weld and redrill the ones already on there as my father suggests?

whatever your choice of tires, i would recomend they be the same as the tow Vehicle for obvous reasons, BTW where did you get the Landy hubs from?

I thought the Defender/D1 pattern was off the shelf ALKO item and available almost everywhere.

If you have the necessary skills, by all means redrill & tap if your hubs have sufficient diameter & meat to accomodate the LR pitch circle.

... and yes- use the same tyres as your car (as Kevin B suggests).

I got my rims from a bloke called mick at the expo yesterday. He had them for sale in the back of an 88 I think it was.

Yep, I agree - in a perfect world. Doesn't quite work with mine as I tow it with the 101...
