Do they fit syncro I'm not 100% but I'm sure they are on 16.5 inch rims? They also fit them on these new penman trailers proper knobbly

Think the usual landrover rim size is 16" (not sure if military stuff is different though?)

Ive seen quite a few military LR's with 7.50 x 16" tyres, but these tend to be the Michelin XCL type.

Any chance you could find out what size they are? Ive been planning on going larger on tyre size for a while now, would be very interested to see if theyre anything close to what i'm planning!

The tyres are 16/7.5/C tyres Goodyear G90 I'll see how many I can get and post them up.

Are they slighty wider than normal syncro wheels?

7.5x16 was an option tyre on 16" vans, probably as used by Nato forces

they are equivalent width to 195 but taller profile better to cut through mud to where the grip is underneath, narrow tyres are good because of that, wider tyres provide more floatation and generally more grip on tarmac
