    BFG All Terrains. They seem to handle anything Colorado weather and trails throw at us without any problem.

      I run Dunlop Rover RT's in 7.50x16. They no longer make this size, so I'll hopefully find them in 235/85 when they wear out...

          Trac Edge are great which is what I am running unfortunatly the PO must have picked them up from differend sources as the wear if different on each tire.
          The next tire will be the Federal Couragia in 235/85 16 (in the link above). Everything I have read on them says they are a great tire for the money. the only thing I would do is have em sipped for winter.

            Cooper Discoverer ATR 235/85/16

            Great handling and off-road traction, quiet on road, and great in the snow (very important up here).

            Land Rover Owner Magazine did a test of these with a Series truck and a Defender, and thought they were terrific: they never got stuck, didn't tear up the trails, and had a quiet ride on the motorways. Couldn't agree more.

              I have not tested themoff road. Seem fine on road, no issues.
              BTW I found out how to quiet down a rover, take the top off!

              Nice! Thanks for the picture. You are right, the Bridgestones do look correct on there. Those are the tires that I will be running on my 88" once I find a set of 16" rims.

              Glad they worked out for you. Let me know if you would like some more
