I have a set (four) of heavy duty Pewags from Devon 4x4 for the 285/75 x 16 MTs on my Defender, and have been completely satisfied with them. I also have a set (four) of heavy-duty RUDs for the 7.50 x 16 MTs on my Series 1 and have been equally satisifed with them.
My recommendation would be any reputable make (i.e., Pewag or Rudd) of basket-pattern chain designed for light commercial vehicles. Cheap chains are like any cheap tool - more expensive and dangerous in the long run. |

If you want Pewag snow chains I strongly recommend that you google the snow chain shop. Run by Brindleys. They carry a wide range of Pewags and do next day delivery and prices are more reasonable then elsewhere.

With 30mm spacers your turning circle will be the same. |

With 285/75 KL71's on standard Boost alloys without spacers on my 110 my turning circle was adversely affected. The vehicle was completely drivable but you had to bear in mind that the manoeuverability was affected.
With the above wheels and tyres on 30mm spacers the lockstops do not need adjusting from the standard settings and the turning circle is standard. So with 285's on Boost alloys you do not need spacers but they will restore the original turning circle and make life easier. 285's are of course wider than the recommended max width for a Boost, so if you change the rim then buy one with an appropriate offset and dispense with the spacer. However, I have run 285's on Boosts for a lot of miles and had no problems with them. |
