Tire choice help

[Rodden87]

Hello after some thought I've decided I want to change wheel and tires. Currently I run 15x8 wheels but to get them to fit I have to run spacers, I'm not a massive fan of spacers so want rid of them. My tires are 31/10.50 15 kingpin Trekkers. I'm now doing more road miles and also having to drive on customers/private drives and tracks and my Trekkers have made a bit of a mess in a few oooopsy!
I would love some advice on pattern and size?
I don't have any problem with changing to a 16 rim to open up more sizes! I would like to stay as close to 31" if I can and definitely don't want to go any wider would probably prefer slightly narrower!
My thoughts on patterns so far are BFG KM2, cooper stt, hankook rt03 in 31/10.5 15, is any one running any a similar 16 size with success?

Cooper stt's all the way ive got them in 285/75/16 and there brilliant. worth every penny

Tom what height do they come out at in inches, do coopers come up slightly small or big?

[turbo-tom]

they work out about a 33 by 11.50 (in inches) roughly I would give you a proper measurement but i dont have access to my disco I have them on my discovery though. they do them in loads of sizes though!

Maxxis bighorns are a good, they would be my next choice for an all round tyre. My buckshots are lasting really well.

Cheers Scottie will have a look, what makes you want them so much? How much experience do you have of them?

I just added a link, they are are basically the replacement for buckshots

I've been running my buckshots for a few years now and they have only worn a few mm and always impress me offroad.

They are also quite highly rated on the Aussie Zuki forums.

They seem like a good choice I like the look of the side wall. I will do some more research I think cheers bud
