Im in the process of looking for new tyres. Its either going to be 225/75/R16 or 235/70/R16. At the moment i have 225/70/R16 BFG at which are great. I drive mostly on the road. My off roading is mainly beach work, and rutted tracks. BFG looks to be the strongest AT tyre around. I had yoko geolanders before the BFGs and they were shithouse. What to u guys reckon.

go for some 30x9.5R15 (about the same size as 235x75R15)

bigger choice in that range and they should fit fine with a 50mm lift

He needs tyres for 16x6.5 rims as that 's what the 2.0 SWB Vits run. How about a 2" bodylift with 2" suspension and 235/85R16 MTR's (31.9"x9.3")and they will fit under the guards and you could always go 5.12 diffs if you find the gearing not enough or 245/75R16 (30.7"x9.8") or 255/70R16 (30.3"x10.2")
