Hi
Be warned I believe the 40.10 military spec that run these bigger wheels also have larger bearings to match! not so sure that I would bet my dead grannies soul on this info but it might be worth checking out. Bigger tires more pressure on joints etc so wear may be higher. I wondered what advantage this upgrade would really give me especially when in the desert. Bot I found my biggest problem there was keep the power on over the bumps/corigations. It was the bad suspension that got me stuck not the tyre size. But the larger size do look cool!! Just buy a long handled shovel its a lot cheaper!!
One reason I would go up to this is size is the extra weight rating I think my 7.50 xzls were on there limited and it increased the prob of punctures especially on tarmac. They got to warm!
hope this helps
bigger tires wouldn't have helped here just bigger shovel!! http://www.flickr.com/photos/nicolum...ream/lightbox/

p.s plenty of the larger sizes in Italy or if your going through Pakistan you can easily change in Islamabad. Have a connection in Italy if you need it
