A 90 is normaly 205/16 or you can spec them with 7.50/16 or new equivilant 235/85/16.
A 110 should be 7.50/16 or equivilant 235/85/16

i didnt think standard defender was 235/85 because thats what i have now and i have been parked up nect to a few very standard looking defenders and they looked dwarfed.
when i got my 90, it obviously had been about the block a few times but it had 205/16's on it

I've had a couple of mates buy brand new 110's in the last 12 months and they came with 235.85R16 as standard, don't know if this is the same for Defenders?

Must depend on customer spec. Factory fit in the UK as I understand it on 110's is Michelin XZL in 7.50R16. Dunno about 90's and discos. The handbook's have got it all in with pressures and sizes.

As quoted as above.
Factory fit for 90's and 110's is 7.50R16.
Optional on a 90 is 205/80R16 and 235/85R16.
Optional fitment for the 110 is 235/85R16.
Expect them to come on Michelin XPC in either 205/80R16 and 7.50R16.
Expect some 110's to come on Michelin XZL but they more money so you will be expected to extra on top of vehicle price to have them.
Lots of farmers go for 205/80R16 on the 90 to keep the centre of gravity low for towing.
Ray -jnr maybe the 90 was lifted as there is only 70mm difference between 205/80R16 and 235/85R16.
