Not had any personal experience but I am also in the same boat with regard to Grabbers and no longer available in either X3 or AT3 in 235 85 16 but I've seen lots of good reviews of the Davanti terratoura AT which looks similar and is also three peak snowflake rated and considerably cheaper than the premium brands 110 Td5 Ex Utilities slowly converting into a pop top camper one day

265 75 16 are the same size as 235 85 16 and were fitted by land Rover to some models. They’ll be about an inch wider, but near enough the same diameter.

You could go for 255/85R16, but there is limited choice even with that.
This is a pain because they keep changing brands and types and it’s difficult to get a replacement pair. When I’ve had to get replacements, twice I've had to get an entire set due to not getting a match. Of which there is the method in their madness, makes sales sense too. That’s why I stick with BFG, because they last, it’s not something you want to go through too often. The downside is price, the rest are positives. But this size might not suit you, and we all have our likes and dislikes of brands etc. Diesel$ Live$ Matter. ⛽️🛢️👨🔧🧰⚙️ RED, WHITE & BOOST! 🇬🇧 |

As above the BFG AT's are always excellent tyres. However, if you are only looking for a couple of tyres then have a look at the Continental Cross Contact AT. It was standard on the Puma Defenders and a superb all round tyre. It took me as far as the BFGs have and in all weathers. You might be able to pick a few up on bay for little money.
Have a look at the Davanti Terratora as well, some folks on here rate them well. |
