Heard the arguement many times before on sticking with 7.50x16 (235/85/16)due to availablility which is very true. However in the end, moved away from it to a BFG MT 265/75/16. Primariliy wanted a broader tyre due to the load / height of the modified 110. With roll cage, roof rack, roof tent, etc, the vehicle sits much better on the larger tyres. Have also found that MTs are a much better "all terrain" than the all terrains which I previously ran. We had six wheels trans africa which we definitely needed, personally wouldn't go with 5 regardless of how strong a compound they are. Found the MT's very good in the Sand as well as on the other terrains. Would only go for the larger tyre if you are carrying alot of weight / vehicle is sitting higher. If its running as a stock standard 90 then I would stick with the standard size and get the benefits of greater availability.
