Retro, thanks for the link, have seen it before and found it very useful to compare tyre sizes etc.
Was really looking for first hand experience from people running this size of tire, either on road or off road.
As i have posted in the defender section of the forum i thought my vehicle would be obvious, that coupled with my avatar.
It's a 110 defender CSW 92 200tdi in white.
I probably spend 80% of my time driving on roads
Carry loads of timber on the roof due to my occupation
I live in the alps so snow in the winter is a regular driving condition
Form should follow function (but looks don't hurt)
Have standard suspension, although would like to upgrade to OE HD rear springs at some point.
would like to achieve a bit more ground clearance, with slightly higher gearing as i occasionally do a run or two to Geneva airport on the motorway. But on the flip side there is plenty of off road driving to be had around here.
Hope the extra info helps with peoples replies.
And Bogmonster, i did find that quite amusing!
Yes i am planning on tying John and Edward up, whoever they are,
but was thinking more on the lines of rolling my old tyres at them from the top of a hill,
a bit like a game of human skittles!
Cheers Rusty
