Any recommendations
Hi everyone I’m having great difficulty in getting replacement tyres for my 2015 Landmark 90
It’s currently got Goodyear Wrangler MTR 235/85 16
These seem now to be impossible to find anywhere! Can anyone recommend a replacement i value any advice that you’ve got. My Defender is used for the main part on tarmac roads, I work for the nhs and it’s used in the community. Thank you for any advice given.

Michelin Latitude Cross was my choice because the vehicle is used mainly on the road and driven occasionally on farm tracks. Found them good in both situations.

I have General Grabber AT3 which I am finding much better on the road than the BFG KO2 I had previously. Cheaper and quieter too.

Just to add to your confusion/choices;
A couple of weeks ago I fitted a set of 'Davanti Terratoura a/t - 265/75 r16' and I've found them to be excellent ( so far).
They're good on wet/slushy roads and also the light off road use they've had.

And they're relatively cheap 👍👍👍 2002 Land Rover 110 Td5 Utility

I've had those Wranglers too, factory fitted and went with BFG KO2s 265/75/16 after 3 or 4 years. Not impressed, especially not on wet surfaces. I trusted the Wranglers more. My personal conclusion: I think 235mm is the ideal width for a 90 tyre.

I'll second the AT3's. They're an excellent all round tyre and winter rated, too. Darren

90’s have always driven better fitted with 235/85 compared to 265/75
