Clive, I have a second set of standard alloys which I'm guessing are 7-8" wide??
My previous vehicle was on 36x12.50 Simex Extreme Trekkers and in comparison to those what I've got now looks tiny. However, I think I'm starting to go down the slippery slope of over-modifying what is supposed to be a reliable overland vehicle. My head says get a set of BFG KM2 285/75s and be happy with them.
My 'other thing' says be a man and go for 44" Super Swampers
Lol.
Lol, dont tempt me.
I have 285s on at the moment and Im happy with the width but they measure up to 31.5" which on a 3" lift leaves too much of a gap in the wheel arches. I know Cooper STTs measure 33" tall so I will pop into my local tyre emporium with my tape measure.
Of course, if they happen to have a set of 315/75s on the shelf....

What make are your 305 muds and what do the measure up at on the vehicle?
Cheers
I have decided to go with 285/75/16 BFG KM2s from 4x4tyres.co.uk. No one seems to complain about BFGs and I want something that is a good strong all rounder. 285s aren't huge but they are easily obtainable and aren't going to stress the driveline/bearings etc.
