Ive got 255/85R16 BFG KM3 on my 110. Dual finish wheels are et33, no spacers. Exceptional off road and works just fine for everything else up to about 75 mph. And they look cool.

In that size, the Stt pro is only speed rated K or 68mph.

They are 265 75 r16. It’s the coopers with the blue writing. Think they are the pro’s. He says he is giving me a good deal of £125 each + vat. Not sure if he is or not tbh…

I had a set of Cooper 265/75/16 STT on mine, recently swapped them to Toyo 255/85/16 MT.
The Coopers were very noisy from new, marked difference the Toyos are far far quieter, you also get around an 1”” extra ground clearance and they fill the arch more and look a lot better. As said above Cooper STT are only rated to 68. If i was buying again I would definitely buy the Toyo’s again. |

"Think this defender looks great"
I don't (too "wannabee") but that's a taste thing and each to his own... But surely those tyres are outside the wheel-arches and illegal to drive on-road? Correct me if I'm wrong... Peter |

Sure it’s a taste thing. Everyone has different opinions, yeah looks like wheels are outside the arches. MOT will let the owner know I am sure. That said, just depends who you get. Everybody is a wannabe these days so might as well join the club….

MOT expired Feb 22, no mention on previous MOT's about wheels beyond the arches, prob took spacers off before putting in for test.

Mine stick out a tad, but it’s gone through 8 MOTs and it’s never been mentioned.
