Tyre size options - standard truck

[FormerSmurf]

Greetings, people of the Internets.

My T2 is running standard height, with re-indexed torsion bars.

Currently on standard 16" alloys, tyres are 235/70/16.

I've just had a puncture in one, so looking for a bit of a tyre refresh across the board, but on a bit of a budget. There aren't a great deal of decent 235/70/16's about, looking for an aggressive look (mud style) with still has reasonable road handling.

What other tyre sizes will fit onto the standard alloys, and won't require taking my hammers to the vehicle?

Standard set up will take upto 31" tyres (tyre calculators will help work this out) as for MT tyres I would look at poss cooper STT's:thumbs my cooper AT3's just don't want to wear out:augie

31/10.50/15 will go on a standard truck but you will need to trI'm the bumper and remove the mudflaps.
I run kingpin radial mt's which are similar to the bfg tread.

I'll be putting some Cooper AT3s on when it comes to changing, I've not seen a single negative review on them.

Due to the mrs needing new shoes on hers in a few weeks, I've had to go for Insa Turbo Traction Track (235/70/16). Needed 5, but had to get 4 for now, so the spare can wait another fortnight. Paid £50 a corner with shipping, however possibly the slowest shipping known to man.

sorry for piggy backing

Sorry to piggy back this thread but I have a question.
On my first Maverick I replace the tires with some that my boss took off of his Landy, the size of these was 235/85/16 and I placed them on hi lux rims.
Everything was rosey until I put it on full lock and then they rubbed.
I have now bought a 03 plated Terrano and am looking to replace the tires.
I want to gain ground clearance all around, the body lift will be coming further on down the line but for now what size tires could I fit without modification to the vehicle.
