keithjh Posted February 5, 2006 Share Posted February 5, 2006 Hi All, The 110 Tdi is getting ready for a new set of tyres currently running 31x10.5x15 but have a set of 16x7j wheels considering going to 750X16 tyres but anybody else think that for example 235x70x16 are better?. Tyres are for road use only i have a set of offroad wheels and tyres. Regards Keith Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark90 Posted February 5, 2006 Share Posted February 5, 2006 235/70r16's are disco / RRC sized tyres, be a bit small on a 110. 235/85R16's are similar to 7.50's just a bit wider and ever so slightly taller, but they are the closest metric size to the 7.50. 265/75R16's are about the same height as 235/85R16's but 30mm wider. I run 235/85R16's on my 110, but if I was buying new tyres for road use only I'd considerr the wider 265/75R16's as the extra width will aid cornering stability, although you might loose a bit of steering lock depending on what rims you use.

BogMonster Posted February 5, 2006 Share Posted February 5, 2006 265/75R16 I run these on my 90 and you lose a little steering lock but not enough to worry about what sort of wheels? if white 8 spokes the offset will mean no problem with turning circle, if they are Discovery steels or alloys then you lose a little bit as I have on mine but as I said it is still quite satisfactory (mine has Tornado alloys on, normal LR offset whatever that is) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DiscoDino Posted February 6, 2006 Share Posted February 6, 2006 36x12.5 is a sweet tire size for a 110 in my opinion... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Top90 Posted February 6, 2006 Share Posted February 6, 2006 255/85/16s are OK if you have given the TDi a little more grunt, otherwise they raise the gearing and slow down the acceleration. These are a better off road size. As you want road tyres I'd go for 265/75/16s, particularly BFG all terrains as they last for ages and are as quiet as normal pattern road tyres.

freeagent Posted February 6, 2006 Share Posted February 6, 2006 personally id go for either 235/85's or 265/75's....... any bigger and you bugger the gearing.... i had 35" simex on my other 110... looked awesome but was a pig to drive...
