defender 110 tyre size
I was planning to fit 235x85 R16's BFG AT's to my 110 for the trans africa trip. I have just seen another 110 that was shod with 265x75 R16's MT's.
I know the extra width wont be any help in the deserts but what about the rest of the trip, mud, rocks, gravel etc etc... will the wider tyre help, maybe stop sinkage 'cos of the extra area???
Also will the bigger tyres effect anything eg. turning circles, fuel consumption (only on tarmac i guess) or need any modifications to the suspension/steering
and one last thing, sorry going on a bit, what about steel wheels, does anyone have an opinion on the 'white 8 spokes' that seem to come in all the tyre wheel deals, are they up to the trip??
thanks
Rob
