I have not tested them in snow or other tough weather/ off road conditions, but they have performed brilliantly up to this point. Overall, I am very satisfied with these tyres.

5/5

BFGoodrich All-Terrain T/A KO3

These tyres provide a smooth driving experience and also perform well in winter weather on icy and snowy roads. They are excellent in cornering and braking. There have been no changes in fuel consumption or in the mileage.

4/5

Continental Cross Contact AT

The old tyre was still quite decent for a 10 year old tyre.

5/5

Continental Cross Contact AT

Perfect in all conditions.

5/5

Continental Cross Contact AT

Significantly quieter than the mud tyres I used before.

5/5

Goodyear Wrangler AT/ADV

I had a good experience, fitting process was very simple.

5/5

Continental Cross Contact AT

Plenty of grip, very good.

5/5

Continental Cross Contact AT

These are perfect tyres for my Defender. They have improved the vehicle so much with the road handling being significantly better and the noise being much lower. Most importantly they are very good when it comes to wet conditions. They also appear to do well off road.

5/5

BFGoodrich All-Terrain T/A KO3

On the road they aren't very noisy and have a good grip in muddy conditions.

4/5

Goodyear Wrangler AT/ADV

It is definitely worth it as they grip snow and ice much thicker.

5/5

Continental Cross Contact AT

The tyres are alright, but I am worried regarding potential damage on the internal sidewalls like what happened before. It could be potholes, though. On my other car which I do around 7,000 miles a year, I'll go with the tyres that the manufacturer picked.

235/85 R16 is a tall 4x4 tyre used on some Land Rover Defender models where clearance is important. The first number is the width of the tyre in mm, the second number is the aspect ratio, and in this case is 85 %, making the sidewall height about 200mm. R16 signifies the tyre is radial, and it is fitted on a 16-inch rim. The overall diameter is 806mm. The tall sidewall is also an advantage when driving off road giving a softer ride. We have 235/85 R16 including C marked tyres in stock at Tyres.co.uk.
