Massive thumbs up for 255/85/16 BFG KM2
Been running them since January and i'm very impressed, normal BFG wear characteristics with the new KM2 pattern that reduces noise. Sensible on the road in the wet, I don't have to worry about not stopping like I did with the old BFG MT pattern. Great off road.  Click image to enlarge Sandy |

That size is annoyingly very rare over here. In the US you can get the Cooper ST Maxx but you can't here (or at least it isn't on their website).
Maxxis Bighorn is available here though. |

Neat !!
Did you notice any change in speedometer and/or odometer readings ? Thanks. |

I too run 255/85 BFG KM2s and echo what Brewstop has said.
As for the speedo and odo, both are now bang on accurate across the full speed range, whereas before (like all standard vehicles) they over-read by around 8% to 10%. |

Comparing my satnav and speedo readings, not much difference, say 3mph max. But it's dial v numerical so not much to worry about really. Difference in gearing is noticeable however. Going from 235/85 to 255/85 higher gearing makes a difference to gear changing road and engine speeds (I also switched from Boost alloys to steel modulars when first uprising) Land Rover Defenders. 67 years heritage, minimal appearance changes, still going strong all over the world. Not a fashion vehicle, but fashionable to own. Made for the needy, not the greedy. Ta ta Defender
