All me look for new tyres, I currently have grabber ATs, (cant remember whether they’re AT2s or AT3s) which I quite like, the road/off-road bias is perfect for me.

I've got them on mine. Getting close to due changing and have just been looking at alternatives but to be fair they've been great. I believe they were the ones it rolled out of the factory on and just about done 44k miles later.

My 2014 110 van has the standard steel wheels and those Michelins on it (7.50 R 16 I think). My first set lasted about 27500 miles and were still legal (but not for much longer) when I replaced them with exactly the same ones. I usually have perhaps 1/4 ton of kit in the back.

I use the Michelins in 7.50R16 and have been averaging 31MPG over the last couple of months on my commutes with cheap diesel, I have had 36 on long trips through Europe on premium diesel, summer does tend to be a little better.

Ran them on my last D2 & they were more than up to the job (255/65R16) & also on my last Freelander where they had done 50k+ miles before I sold the car. They get my vote. |

Depends where you intend to use them ... 7.50s are pretty useless here but most of the country is soft peat. Cutting down doesn't work so well if the bottom is 20ft down ![]() I guess the same is true of bits of Scotland and Wales. --- 2006 Defender 110 SW 300Tdi • 2011 Ford Ranger XLT crewcab • 2015 Mitsubishi Shogun SG2 • 2015 Defender 110 Station Wagon Utility TDCi |

I have the exact same combination you are considering: Bowler 16" with Latitude Cross on a 90 2.4

Two tyres running the same tyre pressure will sink in exactly the same amount. The narrow one will have a long contact patch, the wide tyre will have a short contact patch. The dunes I was driving in last year were bottomless sand, if you stopped and span your wheels you'd have buried yourself up to your axles in short order. |

I ran a set of the Lattitudes in 7.50 flavour on mine for a while. Good tyre, surprisingly good off road (so long as you keep away from deep mud) and fine on the road. However they don’t last very long and are expensive for what you get.

It is possible to get them in 235/85 X 16 as well. Had a set of the 7.50 michelin which preceded the latitude for years and they were excellent, particularly in snow

I switched to them about 6 months ago. Previously I had whatever the standard chunky tyre was that came with the black pack at the end of production.

It should be noted that the Michelins do not have the 3 peak mountain snowflake symbol but the BFG KO2 does.
