Hi everyone!
Recently bought a LC j9 Challenger from a Dutch farmer. It's a factory-built LKW (Light Commercial Vehicle), and yes, it has three doors, two seats, and the back is just space for cargo. I believe the "Challenger" is the commercial name for this model in Europe, but correct me if I'm wrong.
Came with 265/70/r16 AT tyres, and now I want to get a set of winter ones, and anyway the front pair needs to be changed as they got only a few mm of tread left.
Been trying to find information on the web about possible variations of sizes, and all I found is that the standard ones are 215/80/r16, or as an alternative you can go for the ones that I have now.
From your experience and knowledge, what would be the best recommendations for mostly snowy and icy asphalt use, with occasional driving on snowy gravel and forest roads? Are there any other sizes that would be a good choice? Will be driving it mostly in the north of Finland and Sweden, at least for this winter.
Found a set of used 265/70/r16's, and still in good condition, but I know that the wider the tyres, the higher the fuel consumption, so I'm thinking about going for something narrower. Of course, I could just go and get the 215/80/r16's from a shop, but can't really afford new ones right now, so I'll just have to settle with what the local used tyres market has to offer.
