They are MT/R's - possibly re-branded now I guess. They are the standard 19" profile (255/50)

Nice and the Duratracs also look really good because of the sidewall tread! (Bit like the Cooper STT) |

Yeah - that's the reason MT/R's have been my choice for over a decade. They are pretty durable and have Kevlar bands as opposed to steel. Their ability to climb out of ruts was my favorite feature |

If they are the correct mtr's they should be 255/55/19 |

but I learned my lesson and it still drove on it for about a mile off road but at slow speed until it got to a point I could swap it as I thought it was toast anyway and the rims are scruffy ones anyway I was happy to kill it off properly

Hi KP, yep these are 255/55/19's and I've had them in safe storage for a good few years. A puncture in the side of my current roadwheels meant running 3 at about 3mm and one brand new, so decided to switch to the MT's for a while while I decide on my next set of rubber. Can't say the noise is too instrusive over BFG's or Grabbers, but I think the 2007MY has better sound insulation than the previous incarnation. Land Rover Addict
