The Simex are 35x10.50x16
That equates to 280x85x16 Cheers 80" 1948 Lightweight V8 Bowler Tomcat 130 Station wagon 90 300tdi (Santana PS10 pick up) Range Rover L322 (Ful fat) |

265/75/16 All terrains would be OK I'd have thought. That's what I have now and will be sticking with.
You could go down to a 235 Continental if you wanted something truly road biased! |

They would be far too small. They would stand at 31.5 inches tall.
Need something that is about the same size to fill out the arches. 80" 1948 Lightweight V8 Bowler Tomcat 130 Station wagon 90 300tdi (Santana PS10 pick up) Range Rover L322 (Ful fat) |

I've been trying to find a narrow 33" all terrain and struggling. I've seen BFG KO2s in 285/75/16 which is 33", and they claim to do a 35*12.5*15 too.
I don't know why it's so hard to find narrow ones. |

Yes, it's an XZL. They're a
 to find though and pricey when you do, and XZLs are seriously noisy! |

How does it handle on the tyres you have fitted? With them being so wide does it try and follow the camber of the road badly? What tyre pressure do you run? I have 13.5" wide Maxis tyres currently. Thanks.  |

I find them fine on the road, don't wander or pull particularly. I used to have them on 10 wide rims and found that they did pull a lot under breaking. Tried all sorts of stuff and in the end got advised to try 8" rims so the tyre had more of a curve to the tread as on 10" wide rims the tread was pulled very flat and it drove spot on on the 8's. I tend to run around 32psi on the road. What maxxis are you running ?

Thanks for the reply,
They are Maxis Mudzilla. They are on wide wheels that have alot of offset, I increased the tyre pressure to 30 and it is just as bad. I have quite an amount of wandering and also on braking it gets a bit interesting! I changed my trailing arms bushs because it felt like rear steer! They are quite an agressive tyre and seem to do the job off-road. I will have to try some other wheel/tyre combo as I can't live with the way it drives. My series 2 drives alot better! Even at low speed it feels fairly awful.  |
