"Because of the difficulty of obtaining most 205-R16 tires in the US, many tire dealers list the 225-75-R16 size as an almost-equivalent alternative. The diameter of these tires is very slightly larger than the 29 inch 205-R16, while the cross section is very slightly wider. A vast array of tread patterns from mild to extremely aggressive is available in this size. Some of the better known All Terrain and Mud Terrain designs include the BF Goodrich All-Terrain T/A and Mud Terrain T/A, the Goodyear Wrangler AT/S and MTR, the Bridgestone Dueler AT and MT, the Dunlop Radial Rover RV and MT, and the new Yokohama Geolandar AT. With so many choices available, the Range Rover owner needs to decide what tread pattern is best for his particular vehicle use. A tire of the same diameter as the stock 205/80R16 (but slightly wider) is the 235/70R16 used on the Discovery. It should present no problems on a stock Range Rover". from http://www.rangerovers.net/rrtires.htm#standard good info source for RRs. Jaime | ||

Mark- I have a 94 LWB with, unfortunately, EAS still in working order. I have 235/70R16 BFG KO A/T's and have had no issues... Mike | ||

Is there such thing as a quieter tire for my RRC I have the Michelins but they are kind of noisy. I know on passenger cars there are tires which are quieter I was wondering if the same holds true for truck tires. | ||

Bob, try Michelin XW4 or HR4 instead of XPC. It will be much quieter, but you will sacrifice performance. | ||

I have now fitted 235/70/16's on stock 3 spoke alloy rims with no probs. Only thing I have done is fit the rear spings on the front and put heavy duty uk police spec springs on the rear this may give the car a small lift(1") I'm not sure. |
