Stick with 750.16's, Michelin's are the future..
I like these:-

Look good, wear well and a good all rounder.......
If you start to go much bigger then you will open a whole new
world of pain to make the bloody truck look,drive,handle and
just plain old, bloody work as it should..... ask me how I know

over a cat's eye" or "Big" as in "Undriveable because you
screwed with the gearing and because the wheels and tyres cost
you £800 you aren't telling your mates"? TBH, 7.50s as a
standard size are pretty good on a 88". Much bigger than that,
you end up just looking a twat, have really heavy steering,
struggle to get into 4th gear, and generally ruin the way it
drives. Of course, there are people that will say "Bigger tyres
are best" but.... if really big rubber was so great, how come LR
never offered it....? Saying that, I have some 9.00s sat here
waiting for me to start my next project!

235s look good. Bit squeezed on LWB rims though folk do it.

While we are on the subject...
I had a happy childhood, I can remember my dad putting me inside
a tyre and rolling me down a hill..
Those were Goodyears.

That's what I ran on my 88" 2.25 diesel - 235s on lwb rims -
with no complaints.

Ive run insas for a few years, imo they were a good tyre for the
50 quid a corner i paid for them and have plenty of tread left.
But they are approaching 100 notes at todays money and non
remoulds can be had for not much more.

I had/have the more aggressive Saharas, they are a good tyre,
excellent off road and self clean well
I found them good on tarmac if a bit noisy, but i like a hum
The sidewalls will perish long before the tread wears out,unless
you do mega miles
Inflated at 25psi the ride was as good as you can get in an 88.
