I've googled all over and can't quite find the answer I am after.

I have a '53 plate TD5 Defender 90. I think the wheels are the 'boost alloys'.
It's currently on BF Goodrich AT 265/75/16

They all need replacing (they're old and starting to perish).
Should I go for the same ones?
What other's could I consider?
I rarely do anything like 'off roading'. But don't mind how the current ones sound/perform on the road.

Also - who are good retailers price-wise?

Many thanks in advance

Thanks for response/

I've a contact at Goodyear and might be able to wangle some discount smile

IF I can, can you suggest which Goodyear tyre/s might be good options?

Thanks for all the advice and pointers guys.

I'll be sorting them out over the next month or so, so will let you know how I get on.

As is often the way with such things, there's been some 'feature creep' here... smile

My 90 is off to Nene this weekend - with a fairly large list of things to tackle.

I'll update when the work is done smile

Thanks again all.

I've gone for the latest incarnation of BFG AT2s all round.

And re feature creep - the car has been at Nene Overland all week...I'll update over the weekend, when I've collected 'her' and regained consciousness from the shock of the cost wink

[there was a lot needed doing in the end and haven't even started on my wish list of fun/nice-to-haves - that's for later in the year....]
