according to those signs that read and display your speed, mine reads 7 MPH under actual speed since putting on the 235x85x16s

Hmmm maybe we all should spend some $ at Nisonger...

some good speedometer info here:

here is the build sheet from Sayer's 88 it calls for 7.10 15s, which would have been the same as g87-15s back then I guess, I was close!

The last speedo they rebuilt for me worked for 2 months then broke-they refused to warranty it.

What was their rationale for that??

Who knows, probably the same rationale they use when they try to charge you an extra $50.00 if you want their "accelerated service" which is getting your guage rebuilt in 7 days as opposed to a month. Bottom line they just suck to deal with. Fortunately I have a pile of guages in my stash of parts, however if I needed to get a guage rebuilt, I would find someone else next time(there are a ton of guage rebuilders listed in hemmings)

running 255-85 16's on the ambulance and 235-85 16's on the RRC. Cheap, unbelievable off road and great in the snow. Interco tires

I opted for the compromise in size. I went with a LT215/85R16 tire. A bit like the old 7:00x16. Remanufactured and sold by Katona Tire- not retread. I have found that skinny works the best on these rigs. Unreal in the snow. The tread doesn't look aggressive but it motors on through pretty much of anything. I think its looks proportionate on the ser1 anywho.

we use the michelin x radial military tires on our trucks, they are the same as are on the "snatch" rovers running around iraq or the stan. I have some i got off of an RSOV 2nd Batt and run them on my 109. these tires scream land rover. Cooper tire also makes th military tread in a bias ply tire. cheers
