Can you share with me youe experiences about tyres-what can I put on my car without any changes.?
Which oils you use in your DEFENDERS for gearbox,engine,diff.....(mine is an 110 Tdi 1997 Station Wagon HardTop)

I am just a beginer,I have bought my Landy yesterday=


Thanks

Welcome!

What sort of tyres do you want? On road/ all terrain / off road/ extreme off road?

The stnadard size for a 110 is 235 x 85. You can get 255 x 85 to fit with no mods but you will need the right rims (wolfs are good) and you will need to adjust your steering stops.

Check the tech archive for details on what oils to use.

Good luck!

Moved to the defender forum, as you will likley get some more relavent replies here.

Welcome

Hi and welcome, i am running 265/75/16 on my 110 van on standard suspension with no problems at all. And the rims im running them on are black modulars, i have not had to adjust the steering locks either.

sorry to jump in. Are yours 7 or 8J?

To be honest i'm not sure mack, should there be markings on the wheels?? if so i will have a look tomorrow for you.

They should. But not sure in the back or front on those. Appreciated

Thanks very much

Can I put rear bigger tyres?
Thanks

Hi Mack

I'm running the the same 265/75, on modulars, with standard suspension (but on my 90) and my rims are 7"

Hope that helps....and stops pux having to clean the give off his wheels to find the stamp

cheers sharp but to late i had to wipe away the crap, they are 7j hope this helps, also the tyre i am running are insa dakar which are the same pattern as the BFG MT.

Wot Chav style!

Do you mean wider than the front, or do you mean larger diameter than the front?

John

Thanks guys. Very helpful.

you should fit the same diameter sized tyres all round, you could fit wider tyres on the rear i suppose....

110 std is 7.50 or 235/85R16

BFG MT are good for mud driving and general off road
BFG ATs are good for on road and gentle off road.

have to be same external diameter - cos its a 4 wheel drive and you get tranny wind up (i said tranny heheeheheheee) but wider would work i spose, don't know why would look better tho

???

Ok thanks I will go for 235/85 for front and rear.

I have 285x75x16 on my 110 on Boost wheels and no lift.



Since I bought the truck I havent tried it offroad but I guess I am going to foul various bits of bodywork. The stops have been adjusted and my lock is similar to that of a supertanker now. Turning around in a road is similar to that Austin Powers scene (20 point turn).

I guess at some point I will get a 2" lift which should fix the body mashing potential but without a change of wheels I guess I am stuck with a container ship turning circle.

Does anyone have any pictures of a Defender with 255/85/16 tyres fitted?

Ben
