Hi,
Personally it looks great as is, but if you really need road biased tyres then probably some BFG AT's ? Maybe slightly narrower if your concerned about fuel but I doubt you would notice it. I have 7.5 x 16 but they are on for a reason and some days I would love tyres and wheels like yours

That is a lovely looking 90!
Those wheels and tyres compliment it perfectly.

If you want a more standard look then pick up a set of Boost alloys from the forums or ebay. Deep dish alloys were also fitted when your truck was new but you don't see too many of them about.
Lots of choice with aftermarket wheels too. John http://www.hampshire4x4response.co.uk 2011 Tdci 110 CSW XS |

Don't bother.
Fuel economy won't be that much better, swapping wheels is a PITA, won't look nearly as good. BFG MT KM2's will do all jobs well Sorry Andy |

Don't for me KM2's at 70 mph are appreciably noisier than my GG AT2's, I get a much better ride, better fuel economy, as well. I do some fairly long journeys of over 6 hrs, locally I don't mind my KM2's mind you my KM2's are 255/85's so a fair bit bigger than my 265/75 AT2's

Mate, those muddies and the ZU rims look the dogs b******s!!!
I would love a set of ZU rims, I have only ever seen 1 Landie in Aus with them on, I think there rarer than hens teeth over here! Col  |

Thanks for offers of swaps etc but Im happy with them for the offroading that I have done and going to do. But I also use the car to tow sometimes long distances and thought of getting a more road biased tyre (or set of wheels and tyres ) for this purpose.
Thanks for all the comments tho |
