Defender Tire Size Whatcha Got?

[willismatt25]

I see a couple posts asking for tire size recommendations for their specific truck. It got me thinking what size is everybody running on their defender. Lets post it up. If your running metric go ahead and give a quick estimate in inches.

Me
295 x 70 R18
34.5x11.5

Cheers

several different setups.

1) deep dish alloys with 285.75.16 (my street tires) 33's
2) wolf's with 10.50 x 34 inch tsl swampers -off road really a 33 and not a 34
3) 12.50 x 35's on deep offset steelies- off road set 2- big

My sons 83 110 has BFG 245/75's on freestyle alloys-31's

I'm strongly considering 255/85r16... are you happy with them? How are they on the road? Off road?

255/85-R16 BFG KM (Original not KM2) on 16" D1 Steelies.

Got them used with supposedly less than 1,000 miles on them. Had them on for about 1,000 miles or so of mostly off road. Not impressed. Have MUCH less traction than my previous 285/75-R16 Toyo Open Country MTs. Hard to say if it's the change in width, the different compound of rubber or both but there is noticeably less grip over stuff I drive often in the new set up and that's despite them being almost new at the moment with lots of tread compared to my almost worn out Toyos at the end.

Less rubbing on turns though of course.
