When you say that wide tyres don’t have any advantage, do you mean for overlanding? For overlanding in Australia? I guess they have advantages on certain terrains, like sand or snow. Don’t they? I’ve arrived from three weeks in Iceland and I was totally shocked by the absolutely massive tyres A LOT of 4x4s have over there. I suppose that might be somehow justified and that it is not only a trend. What do you have to say? Thanks!

Would have gone for a 235/85r16 on the original steel rims.

[paulcauchi]

255 85 r16 All day, my 76 loves them. Maybe if you start using them your influence will assist in more places carrying them.

I guess its just me but I find 90% of aftermarket wheels to be be downright tacky or ugly. I actually like the look of the basic steel dish wheel.

[leglessegg]

To be honest, I am disappointed with those rims. They look like they belong on a Ford Ranger. I would have gone steel 100%

[brianaustin]

Wow! That blue colored Troopy with those wheels is outstanding!

[cxbkpmf]

Honestly.. those simple grey steelies look the best!

[davidmjames]

I also follow "the road chose me". It's very interesting the two different approaches to overlanding. Here you are taking off steel and replacing with alloy and he is taking off alloy and replacing with steel.

Standard is easier to I like my Toyota alloys. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. Love your work

Thank you for carefully describing the nature of your relationship with ROH and Falken. It gives your channel much more credibility than if you had skirted over that or even concealed the nature of the deal. It's not a minor thing either - around $4k for the 5 wheels and tyres I expect.

[kabluwi]

The blue and black is really nice on the Troopy. Really old-school cool look.

[shamo]

Could have kept the stock rims + 235/85r16. Thin and tall, common size, same size as you have now.

[spudboy]

I was in exactly the same dilemma for my Troopy build. Really wanted to stay with skinnier tyres after years of 235/85s on Defenders.
I ended up with 255/85 on 16" alloys and I think they are excellent. I went BFG KM3 mud tyres because you can't get a KM2 all Terrain in 255/85, sadly.
I'm only going with 1 spare. Have done thousands of Kms outback carting around 2 spares and never needed both. So I guess, watch me need 2 spares sometime in the near future having said that.
We did the Border Track last week (on the SA/Victoria border) and it was as wet and muddy as. Tyres were fantastic. Lots of confidence. Other vehicles slipping around like mad but the 255/85 KM3s made it look easy.
Cheers - David

Watching this video and reading through these comments is great to see 255/85s have an appreciation. I'm tossing up between sticking with 235/85 or going with the 255s next round.

[nalinfernando]

Dear Andrew, I purchased BF Goodrich 285/75/17 ( AT )for my nissan patrol few years back they never let me down, I got them because you had them, and you were happy with them thanks mate!

[Digital_Dairy]

Makes me feel good, I choose 255/85-16 yokohama muddies for my 100 series. I'm in the states and most guys frowned upon my narrow tire choice, as wide mud tires on lifted trucks is the nom around here. However the yokos have a nice square profile and grip tenaciously on rocky terrain so far.

[gaj]

Running 255/85 R16 Yokohama Geolandar MT G003 on my Defender & it's an awesome size & tyre choice. No worries from me on taking it remote as modern construction tyres can cope with the outback as long as you look after them. Been all over with them, probably on tougher tracks than I've seen Andrew on, with no dramas at all so unless you're forging new tracks don't stress about availability.

[davidberndt]

This tyre/wheel combination falls in an aesthetic category that will win the hearts and praise of South Africa’s finest Brannas enthusiasts

[adventures_with_simo]

Very nice choice. They look really good.
I like how you have explained your thought process and how you have drawn your conclusions.

[JimYeats]

Nice choice. I run KO2’s in 265/75 R16 on 16x7” steelies. They work for me.
