I was thinking of a narrower, military style tyre like the Sime for my BJ42 but think that despite the good looks they will not really do what I want.
Basically an allrounder - on road, dirt road, sand and light mud, easy rock crawling - ie nothing extreme but good, balanced allround capability when aired down around 15-18psi and quiet enough and speed rated for highway and about town daily driving and touring.
So it seems to be coming down to:
a set of 5 x 235/85R16s which will give me around 31-32 inches outside rolling diameter and suitable length in the gearing (stock 4.11) for my unmodified BJ42 whilst still fitting within the wheel arches at modest flex etc - might have to add small flare extensions.
BFG T/A KO
or
Cooper ST-C
Other ideas - they are both pretty expensive but my experience with BFG makes me lean very favourably toward them.
