Probably around 15mmish new so those ones are getting pretty worn, if you could get them for close to $600 it would be a fairly good deal as aftermarket rims for rovers seem to go for quite a bit on TM.

I already have some 130 rims ready for tires, what do you reckon the tires would be worth on there own?

Haha so they are land rover alloys with free tires essentially. 5mm tread will do me well for now if I can get them cheap.

Are you still looking?

I have some 235/85/16s I recently bought but they don't fit. After $550 for them or I'd actually prefer to swap for something a little smaller if you have anything?

I'm in Auckland

I am indeed still looking.

My current tires that I want to get rid of are Olympic Steel Treks and are 7.50x16. So about 31".

Olympic Steel Treks
FR: Date 3507, Tread 6mm
FL: Date 3507, Tread 6mm
RR: Date 0607, Tread 7mm
RL: Date 4404, Tread 9mm

Michelin XZL
Spare: Looks like it has never been used, has well over 10mm of gnarly tread, probably 12mm (measurer didn't go deep enough)

Hmmm, you will no doubt know better than me but are they virtually the same height as my ones but skinnier? I'm really after shorter and wider...

I'll pm you my phone number.

I've been meaning to put them up here for sale, but they are sitting in the garage still on the rims.

I'll pop out to the garage and get some photos and start a new thread.
